The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) reports that the largest gender wage gap in 2021 was in the service sector, at 43%.

This wage gap indicates that male workers in the service sector earned, on average, 43% more than their female counterparts in 2021. This gap slightly decreased from 45.57% in 2020.

Professionals, technicians, and similar occupations recorded the second-largest gender wage gap in 2021, at 33.52%, followed by workers in agriculture, plantations, livestock, fisheries, forestry, and hunting.

Not all job types showed improvement in gender wage equality. Leadership and management positions, for example, recorded a wage gap of 6.31% in 2021, widening from 2.77% in 2020.

A positive gender wage gap indicates that male workers receive higher wages than female workers in that specific occupation; the opposite is true for a negative value.

As shown in the graph, a negative gender wage gap was only observed in the "other occupations" category, at -6.74% in 2021.

Overall, the BPS reports that the gender wage gap slightly decreased to 20.39% in 2021 from 21% the previous year.
