How executive administrative assistant pay ranges in Yemen

A good way to think about salary in Yemen is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all executive administrative assistants in Yemen earn less than 245,300 YER a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 158,700 YER (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 325,900 YER (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of executive administrative assistants sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 103,260 YER. The highest stretch to 361,600 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.

Executive administrative assistant pay by experience in Yemen

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an executive administrative assistant in Yemen, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical executive administrative assistant salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    118,800 YER
  • 2-5 Years

    +9% from previous
    308,300 YER
  • 20+ Years
    +9% from previous
    335,800 YER

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 46%. That is the point at which a executive administrative assistant typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Executive administrative assistant pay by education in Yemen

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving executive administrative assistant pay in Yemen. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Executive administrative 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 executive administrative assistants in Yemen earn an average of 201,100 YER a year, while female executive administrative assistants earn around 249,600 YER. That works out to a 19% gap in favour of women, 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.
