According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), a higher proportion of female workers have low incomes compared to male workers.

Approximately 32.11% of female workers—including laborers, employees, and the self-employed—earned a net monthly wage/salary/income of less than Rp1 million in February 2022.

Meanwhile, only 11.77% of male workers fell into this income bracket.

The gender pay gap remains a significant issue affecting many female workers in Indonesia, even after considering educational background, age, job type, and sector.

Only about 4 out of 10 female workers earned a net monthly wage/salary/income of Rp2 million or more in February 2022.

In contrast, 6 out of 10 male workers fell into this income group.

Overall, the gender pay gap was estimated at 22.41% in February. The widest gap was observed among older workers.
