The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male college and career readiness specialists in Indonesia earn an average of 172,800,900 IDR a year, while female college and career readiness specialists earn around 157,201,600 IDR.

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.
