Gender-Based Wage Differentials in Pennsylvania and New Jersey Manufacturing, 1900–1950
基于新泽西和宾夕法尼亚制造业数据的多元回归研究,发现1900-1950年间多个行业及总体上男女平均工资差距缩小,技术同质化可能是原因之一。
This multiple regression study of women's and men's wages in New Jersey and Pennsylvania manufacturing finds that the average pay gap has changed in favor of women from 1900–1950 in several industries and in the aggregate. Technological homogenization of jobs is suggested as a possible explanation of gender-based wage convergence. An overall framework of forces and relations of production is outlined, and future work on this newly introduced body of data is suggested.
