Gender Segregation and Wage Gap: An East-West Comparison
探讨转型经济中性别工资差距结构对性别隔离文献的启示,指出初始转型政策导致的低薪女性就业率差异可能影响女性主导职业的工资惩罚,并发现西方反歧视政策对性别工资差异结构影响甚微。
This paper discusses the implication of recent results on the structure of gender wage gaps in transition economies for the literature on gender segregation. Differences in employment rates of low-wage women driven by initial transition policies may be responsible for different wage penalties to predominantly female occupations. New evidence presented here also suggests that the introduction of Western-type anti-discrimination policies has had little immediate effect on the structure of female-male wage differences.
