The Increasing Pay Gap for Women in the Textile and Clothing Industries, 1910 to 1970
通过多元回归分析1910至1970年纺织服装业男女工资数据，发现标准化后的性别薪酬差距随时间扩大，并探讨了人力资本投资和政府政策变化等可能原因。
This multiple regression study of male and female wages in the clothing and textile industries finds that the standardized pay gap has changed against women from 1910 to 1970. The cross-section study of wages in 1909-1910 finds a very small residual in favor of men; but when the English-speaking variable is interpreted as screening many able women (but not men) from manufacturing, the residual shifts to one slightly favoring women. The cross-section study of pay in substantially the same industry group during 1969 finds very substantial residuals in favor of men after standardizing earnings. Hypotheses suggested for explaining these contrary findings include a decline in women's investment in human capital relative to that of men, and changing government and union tax and benefit patterns that discriminate against female investment in human capital.
