Assistant to CEO gender pay gap in Indonesia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male assistant to CEOs in Indonesia earn an average of 147,600,500 IDR a year, while female assistant to CEOs earn around 164,398,100 IDR.

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.
