Wages, Experience, and Training of Women over the Life Cycle
利用英国家庭面板调查数据，研究培训在缩小性别工资差距中的作用，发现培训能部分补偿生育对工资的影响，但无法根本改变因生育中断劳动造成的工资差距。
We investigate the role of training in reducing the gender wage gap using the British Household Panel Survey. On the basis of a life-cycle model and using tax and welfare benefit reforms as a source of exogenous variation, we evaluate the role of formal training and experience in defining the evolution of wages and employment careers, conditional on education. Training is potentially important in compensating for the effects of children, especially for women who left education after completing high school, but does not fundamentally change the wage gap resulting from labor market interruptions following child birth.
