Sex differences in earnings: An analysis of Malaysian wage data
应用传统人力资本收入函数分析马来西亚工资数据，发现性别间约34%的平均月工资差异中，不到三分之一源于生产率或人力资本回报差异，主要源于职业分布差异。
The conventional human capital earnings function is applied to a rich set of Malaysian wage data in an attempt to determine the origins of sex differences in average earnings. Several findings are of interest, the first being that the relationships estimated from the earnings function are similar to those typically reported for non‐LDCs. Second, less than a third of the average monthly wage difference between the sexes of about 34 per cent appears to be the consequence of either females having lower (measured) productivity than males, or females receiving lower rates of return to human capital than males. The major part of the earnings difference is apparently a consequence of employment distributions: females are much more likely to be in the low‐paying occupations.
