Equal Pay for Equal Work? Evidence from Sweden and a Comparison with Norway and the U.S.
利用瑞典私营部门雇员的新数据，比较了瑞典、挪威和美国的性别工资差异，发现同雇主同职业的工资差距很小，职业隔离是瑞典工资差距的主要因素，且近二十年旨在改善女性地位的制度变化影响甚微。
Using a new data set covering most privately employed workers in Sweden, we compare gender wage differences to those previously reported for Norway and the U.S. The central finding is that the wage gap is small when comparing men and women working in the same type of occupation for the same employer. Segregation of men and women by occupation accounts for more of the gap in Sweden than in the other two countries. In all three countries, we find that segregation by occupation explains more than segregation by establishment, and that institutional changes over the past two decades aimed at improving the status of women had little effect on the gender wage gap.
