The gender pay gap in medicine: evidence from Britain
量化了英国公共部门医生性别薪酬差距的驱动因素,发现22%的时薪差距远大于其他职业,且主要无法由个人和工作特征解释,在收入顶端尤为突出。
Abstract This study quantifies the drivers of the gender pay gap among medical doctors in the British public sector, both at the mean and across the earnings distribution. We make comparisons to private sector doctors, as well as to other public sector health professionals and find that the substantial 22% hourly gender pay gap among public sector doctors, which is predominately unexplained by personal and work-related characteristics, is far larger than in these comparator occupations. Our evidence suggests sector–occupation-specific drivers of gender pay inequality among public sector doctors, which are particularly pronounced at the top end of the wage distribution.
