Numerous previous studies previous studies have found that there are gender inequalities in the labor market, including unequal treatment to which women are exposed during work, employment of women in lower positions; lower wages of women compared to men for work of similar or equal value, etc. Despite the fact that women represent the majority of the workforce in these industries, the research confirms the existence and continuation of gender inequality in the tourism and hospitality industries. By introducing legislative and institutional frameworks that regulate the field of gender equality, in the European Union, and the Republic of Serbia as a candidate for membership, the widespread practice of unequal position of women has been reduced. However, it has still not been completely eliminated. The aim of this research is to point out the existence of quantitative and qualitative indicators of gender inequality of employees in the tourism sector, for the purpose of the primary goal which includes raising public awareness of the need to achieve full gender equality, which further enables the realization of the entire potential of the individual and thus the development of the entire society. By researching official statistical sources, we obtained quantitative data through the Gender Equality Index in the countries of the European Union and the Republic of Serbia, then data on the basic indicators of the labor market in the Republic of Serbia, the ratio of the number of employees by level of education and gender, by sector and gender, then by type of work and sex, by the number of working hours and sex, and average salary and sex. Also, we found out data on the number of employees by gender, their structure by education, and average earnings by gender of employees in the tourism industry.
