Gender Difference in Average Wage/Salary/Earnings


In Kerala, men earn around ₹25,000 per month in regular jobs, while women earn ₹17,939–₹20,008, showing a persistent gender wage gap. In casual labor, women earn about half of men’s daily wages (₹412–₹469 vs ₹876–₹903), and in self-employment, women earn much less than men (₹6,535–₹7,917 vs ₹17,836–₹19,473). While Kerala’s wages are higher than the national average, significant gender disparities remain, especially in informal and self-employed work.
