Incorporating Occupational Attainment in Studies of Male-Female Earnings Differentials Journal of Human Resources 15,1 (Winter 1980): 3-28. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145344 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Discrimination, Sex; Earnings; Occupational Attainment; White Collar Jobs This study focuses on determining the extent to which differences between males and females in hourly wages are due to differences in occupational distribution versus unequal pay within occupational categories, and to what extent these differences in occupation and wages are explainable by differences between the sexes in observed attributes. The results show that only 14 to 17 percent of the total wage differential is attributable to differences in endowments. Most of the unexplained difference in overall wages arises from unexplained differences in wages within the broad occupational categories rather than from unexplained differences in occupational distributions. |
