The gender pay gap in Indonesia is estimated to have not changed significantly in the last three decades.

This is recorded in the *World Inequality Report 2022*, compiled by the World Inequality Lab in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

According to the report, the ideal proportion of female labor income share is 50% of the total national aggregate worker income. This ideal proportion indicates that women's income is equal to men's.

However, in 1990, the proportion of total income of female workers in Indonesia was only 21% of the total national aggregate worker income. Even thirty years later, in 2020, the proportion only slightly increased to 24.8%.

This level of inequality in Indonesia is slightly better than the average proportion of female worker income in Asia, which is 21% (excluding China). Indonesia is also significantly higher or better than India, where the proportion of women's income is only 18%.

Meanwhile, the proportion of female labor income in Indonesia is lower or worse than that of developed countries such as Japan, with a proportion of 28%, and South Korea, with a proportion of 32%.
