A Most Egalitarian Profession: Pharmacy and the Evolution of a Family-Friendly Occupation
研究了药学这一高薪女性主导职业的性别收入差距、兼职惩罚及过去半个世纪的演变，发现技术进步和就业结构变化缩小了收入差距。
Pharmacy today is a highly remunerated female-majority profession with a small gender earnings gap and low earnings dispersion. Using extensive surveys of pharmacists, as well as the US Census, American Community Surveys, and Current Population Surveys, we explore the gender earnings gap, penalty to part-time work, demographics of pharmacists relative to other college graduates, and evolution of the profession during the last half-century. Technological changes increasing substitutability among pharmacists, growth of pharmacy employment in retail chains and hospitals, and related decline of independent pharmacies reduced the penalty to part-time work and contribute to the narrow gender earnings gap in pharmacy.
