Professor of marketing pay by education in Indonesia

Professor of marketing gender pay gap in Indonesia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Indonesia is no exception. Male professors of marketing in Indonesia earn an average of 249,599,700 IDR a year, while female professors of marketing earn around 224,398,200 IDR. That works out to a 11% 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.
