Influence of Work Experience, Skill Requirement, and Occupational Segregation on Women's Earnings Journal of Economics and Business 29,2 (Winter 1976-77): 107-115 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Temple University Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Job Tenure; Occupational Segregation; Occupations, Female; Work Experience Two possible causes for women's lower wages relative to those of men are examined: that women have less work experience and that they are employed mainly in stereotypically female occupations. The results indicate that both work experience and occupational segregation are critical determinants of women's wage position. Women earn significantly less in low-skill typically female occupations as compared to low-skill typically male occupations. However, women in high-skill typically female occupations do not earn less than their counterparts in typically male occupations. |
