The Gender Earnings Differential in the Russian Transition Economy
利用俄罗斯纵向监测调查数据,发现性别工资比为71.7%,差异主要源于职业和行业的性别隔离,并指出苏联制度遗产与新兴市场力量的相互作用是低薪女性行业和职业的成因。
Using data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS), the first nationally representative household survey in the Russian Federation, the author examines the gender earnings differential in Russia during the country's transition to a market economy. The gender wage ratio is calculated at 71.7%, and most of the difference is found to be attributable to occupational and industrial employment segregation by gender. The author argues that the lower pay in female industries and occupations is determined by the interaction of the institutional factors inherited from the Soviet past with the forces of the emerging market.
