The middle 50% of assistant food and beverage controllers sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

Assistant food and beverage controller gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male assistant food and beverage controllers in Pakistan earn an average of 590,200 PKR a year, while female assistant food and beverage controllers earn around 518,900 PKR. That works out to a 14% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
