The disability pay gap in the UK: What is the role of the public sector?
利用英国劳动力调查数据，首次比较公共与私营部门的残疾薪酬差距，发现公共部门差距更小，尤其在工资分布顶端对女性残疾员工有保护作用。
Using data from the UK Quarterly Labour Force Survey we provide the first evidence on variation in the disability pay gap between the public and private sector. Decomposing the disability pay gap at the mean we find evidence of a sizable unexplained pay gap in both sectors, but this is narrower in the public relative to the private sector, consistent with greater pay equality in the public sector. The unexplained disability pay gap increases across the pay distribution particularly in the private sector, suggesting a ‘glass ceiling’. As such, our evidence suggests the public sector provides relative protection for disabled employees, especially at the top end of the wage distribution. This appears to be driven by the influence for females.
