<![CDATA[Wages are still the main challenge in national development. Even though the Indonesian government has set a minimum wage, as many as 52.20 percent of female formal workers in Lampung Province still receive wages below the district/city minimum standard. This condition shows that more than half of female formal workers in Lampung do not receive wages according to minimum standards and makes Lampung the province with the lowest average wages for female formal workers on the island of Sumatra. This problem also occurs in the tertiary sector, which is the sector with the largest contribution and the main absorber of female workers in Lampung. This research analyzes the variables that characterize the inappropriate wages of tertiary sector female formal workers using the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) approach. The CHAID results show that there are six variables that are significant in characterizing the inappropriate wages of female tertiary sector formal workers in Lampung, namely education level, trade union participation, tertiary sector business field, working hours, type of work and marital status. The segment that most characterizes wage inequity is characterized by female tertiary sector formal workers who have less than a junior high school education, do not join a trade union, and work in the blue collar sector as well as a group of tertiary sector female formal workers who have a high school or equivalent education, work in the non-dynamic service sector, and have working hours of less than 35 hours.]]>
