摘要：The analysis of the gender wage gap has been an active subject within the socio -economic domains around the world. Much of this gap occurs at the upper rungs of the organizational ladder, even among females with credentials or achievements to their names. This research attempts to answer the gender wage gap questions related to Lebanon by utilizing an in -depth cluster analysis on gathered data pertaining to all the employees of two Lebanese financial institutions. The results indicate that Lebanon, as other countries of the world, suffers from serious discrimination as to the considerable differences between wages paid for classical "men's jobs" and those paid for classical "women's jobs". Moreover, this study shows that common factors for both genders, including years of experience, age, educational level and position, generally cannot be attributes to explain this significant wage gap; it may imply that the said gap is due to culture, traditions and weak governmental policies
