I don't think it makes sense to compare absolute pay gaps. At least, present it together with a percentual value and sort the countries by the relative gap.

However the ordering is by % gap basis. I did want to suggest that Ethiopia has a big problem, when the earnings irrespective of male or female is extremely low compared to World average.

It is the case that women are getting more degrees than men at present, but as shown by Pew the pay gap continues relatively steadily.

You have provided no supporting links or evidence for any of the claims you have made. So I am going to continue to trust Pew over some random guy on the internet’s opinions.
