ILO: Pakistan Faces the Widest Gender Wage Gap in Region

ILO: Pakistan Faces the Widest Gender Wage Gap in Region

Imagine a world where men and women don't get paid the same for doing the same jobs.

That's the situation in Pakistan, according to a report.

Women there earn much less than men, about 34% less.

This problem is worse than in nearby countries.

Many women work in low-paying jobs, and even in better jobs, they earn less.

It's because of traditions, limited job options, and lack of support.

Even though there are some rules to help women, they aren't always followed, so the wage gap remains big.
