A fair go? The gender pay gap among corporate executives in Australian firms
研究了2011至2014年澳大利亚大型企业男女高管的薪酬差距，发现女性高管平均薪酬为男性的80.7%，在控制职位等因素后仍有15.1%的差距，表明需同时关注女性高管比例和薪酬平等。
In virtually all economies, executive positions are highly male dominated. This study examines the pay gap between male executives and female executives in large Australian firms from 2011 to 2014 to evaluate whether female executives are paid equitably compared with male executives. The mean pay comparison shows that female executives earn 80.7% of the total pay earned by male executives. A large part of the gender pay gap is explained by differences in positions held; female executives are particularly underrepresented in highly paid executive positions. After controlling for executive position and other relevant individual and firm characteristics, there remains a 15.1% gender gap in total pay. Our findings suggest that to achieve the goal of gender equity, both the proportion of women at executive level and the executive-level gender pay gap need to be monitored.
