Infographic: Gender Pay Gaps in Indonesia

Comparable to the global condition, Indonesian women earn 23 percent less than men. Although more women workers have a college or university degree compared to male workers, higher education has not succeeded in narrowing the gender pay gap.

“Given the gender gaps in our labour market today, my Ministry, together with all of our social partners and international organizations, continues to reinforce our joint actions against gender-based discrimination at work. It is time for women and men to be equally appreciated by their talents, work results and competence, not by their gender,” said Minister Ida.

Research: gender pay gap exists in Indonesia, especially for women under 30

Dec 23, 2019 – I’m a researcher that uses statistics to study economic systems. My research on gender pay gap in Indonesia shows an interesting trend: as women mature and gain work experience, they earn the same or even more than their male counterparts. My research found that the salary gap between men and women only exists for women under 30 years old.

On average, our 2017 data show that women earn 21.64% less compared to men. However, for those who are 30 years old or older, a man and a woman who have the same age, work experience, education and similar working field tend to earn a similar level of salary.
