Male‐Female Supply to State Government Jobs and Comparable Worth
用供给面模型解释州政府职位和求职者中女性比例,发现女性对男性主导岗位的工资最不敏感、对女性主导岗位最敏感,表明可比价值政策可能提高女性在各类岗位中的比例和总报酬。
The proportion of women in state government jobs and applicant pools is well explained by a model emphasizing supply-side factors. Relative to men, women's supply is least sensitive to wages in predominantly male jobs and most sensitive to wages in predominantly female jobs. These results suggest that comparable worth policies that shift relative pay toward traditionally female jobs and away from traditionally male jobs will increase the proportion of females in male-dominated, female-dominated, and total state government jobs. The implication is that supply side responses need not prevent comparable worth pay adjustments from raising total female compensation. Copyright 1998 by University of Chicago Press.
