How design and decoration assistant pay ranges in Yemen

Half of all design and decoration assistants in Yemen earn less than 207,700 YER a year, and the other half earn more.

The middle 50% of design and decoration assistants sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 95,420 YER. The highest stretch to 315,700 YER, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Design and decoration assistant gender pay gap in Yemen

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Yemen is no exception. Male design and decoration assistants in Yemen earn an average of 212,500 YER a year, while female design and decoration assistants earn around 194,600 YER. That works out to a 9% 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.
