Gender Differences in Pay
研究了美国性别薪酬差距,发现性别特定因素(如资质差异和歧视)以及整体工资结构(如技能回报和行业就业)均显著影响该差距,美国性别差距缩小主要归因于性别特定因素,但与其他发达国家相比差距较大则源于美国高工资不平等。
We consider the gender pay gap in the United States. Both gender-specific factors, including gender differences in qualifications and discrimination, and overall wage structure, the rewards for skills and employment in particular sectors, importantly influence the gender pay gap. Declining gender differentials in the U.S., and the more rapid closing of the gender pay gap in the U.S. than elsewhere, appear to be primarily due to gender-specific factors. However, the relatively large gender pay gap in the U.S. compared to a number of other advanced countries seems primarily attributable to the very high level of U.S. wage inequality.
