The middle 50% of quality assurance document controls sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

Quality assurance document control gender pay gap in Pakistan

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Pakistan is no exception. Male quality assurance document controls in Pakistan earn an average of 492,400 PKR a year, while female quality assurance document controls earn around 430,500 PKR. That works out to a 14% 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.
