Average Publishing and Printing Supervisor Salary in Eritrea for 2026

How much does a publishing and printing supervisor make in Eritrea?

A typical publishing and printing supervisor working in Eritrea brings home around 8,756 ERN a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 50,980 ERN, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 161,300 ERN for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior publishing and printing supervisor working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How publishing and printing supervisor pay ranges in Eritrea

A good way to think about salary in Eritrea is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all publishing and printing supervisors in Eritrea earn less than 104,140 ERN 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 69,040 ERN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 137,400 ERN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of publishing and printing supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 50,980 ERN. The highest stretch to 161,300 ERN, 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.

Publishing and printing supervisor pay by experience in Eritrea

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a publishing and printing supervisor in Eritrea, 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 publishing and printing supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 36%. That is the point at which a publishing and printing supervisor 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.

Publishing and printing supervisor pay by education in Eritrea

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving publishing and printing supervisor pay in Eritrea. 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.

Publishing and printing supervisor gender pay gap in Eritrea

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Eritrea is no exception. Male publishing and printing supervisors in Eritrea earn an average of 108,320 ERN a year, while female publishing and printing supervisors earn around 97,760 ERN. 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.

Pay raises for a publishing and printing supervisor in Eritrea

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Eritrea sees a raise of about 7% every 31 months, which works out to roughly 3% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Eritrea, the national average raise is around 4% every 29 months.
