Assistant information technology project manager gender pay gap in Ecuador

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Ecuador is no exception. Male assistant information technology project managers in Ecuador earn an average of 21,540 USD a year, while female assistant information technology project managers earn around 19,640 USD. That works out to a 10% 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.
