Does geographical location matter for ethnic wage gaps?
研究英国不同地区少数族裔与多数族裔的工资差距,发现地区间差距差异大,且与职业隔离、族裔多样性等因素相关,对政策制定有参考价值。
Abstract This paper analyzes ethnic wage gaps in Great Britain by comparing minorities to majority workers in the same local labor market and focuses on the variation of wage gaps across areas. As wage gaps vary across areas, using one single national measure may be misleading. Higher wage gaps across groups are associated with higher occupational segregation and ethnic diversity, while higher wage gaps within groups are associated with higher regional specialization and proportion of co‐ethnics. Policies could help by improving job location and selection into occupations across groups.
