Do Women Managers Lower Gender Pay Gaps? Evidence from Public and Private Firms
利用波兰大型雇主-雇员数据,分析女性管理者比例与企业内性别工资差距的关系,发现公共部门中女性管理者比例高时女性工资优势略有增加,私营部门中女性工人比例高与工资不平等降低相关,但女性管理者比例影响不显著。
This paper analyzes the link between the share of women managers and the size of the firm-level gender pay gap, looking separately at the private and public sectors. Using a large linked employer–employee dataset for Poland and nonparametric and parametric decompositions, the study finds that a greater share of women managers is associated with an increased advantage for women in selected types of public-sector units: the ones in which remunerations of women and men are already equal, and a large share of the workforce is tertiary-educated. The effects are, however, relatively small in size. In private establishments, lower gender wage inequality is associated with higher shares of women workers, but not women managers.
