Effects of Education and Experience on Pay Inequality Among Male and Female Professionals a Cross-Sectional Study Ph.D. Dissertation, Walden University (Minnesota), 1993 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): College Education; Education; Wage Differentials; Work Experience This research attempted to assess the effect of education and experience on the wage differential between male and female professionals, and the existence of a trend toward the narrowing of the wage gap. This study used the NLS of Youth, conducted by the Center for Human Resource Research between 1979 and 1991. The total population consisted of 12,686 male and female cohorts from 485 counties and independent cities within the United States. A bivariate and multivariate linear regression analysis was used to test the data for existing relationships among years of experience, sex, given degree, specific professional position, and income from wages. Empirical results indicated that education and years of experience are major factors in the determination of wages. The sex component appears to show statistical significance only in positions where the employee holds an associate degree. The indications are that a bachelor's or higher degree affects wages positively for either sex. The final section of this paper discusses possible factors, such as location and industry, as having equal importance in the determination of wages. |
