Occupations, age and gender: Men and women’s earnings in the Irish labour market
研究了爱尔兰不同职业和年龄组中性别、教育、兼职状态和部门对收入的影响，发现劳动力市场分为初级和次级工作，女性教育回报较低，但在公共部门收入差距较小。
While many studies investigate gender wage disparities, few have examined the impact of gender, education, part-time working and sector on earnings for men and women across different occupational groups and for different age groups. The purpose of this article is to undertake a more nuanced approach to further our understanding of the gender pay difference between men and women in different occupations in order to tackle and close this gap. The study’s findings suggest that the labour market is segmented into primary and secondary jobs. Additionally, the earnings returns for education are generally lower for women compared to men and women appear to fare better in the public sector in terms of a lower earnings gap for full-time and part-time employees and higher returns for education compared to women working in the private sector. The article concludes with a discussion of the policy implications.
