Sex‐Based Wage Gaps in Nursing
研究了护理行业中男性护士工资高于女性护士的现象，通过分解工资差距发现加班费是重要因素，但其他工作特征无法完全解释差距。
ABSTRACT Men comprise a small fraction of the nurse labor force, yet across the distribution of wages, male nurses earn more than female nurses. In this paper, we use nurse survey data to decompose the sex‐based wage gap and to explore why male nurses earn a premium in a female‐dominated profession. We consider the role of traditional factors such as human capital and family structure, along with explanations that are more specific to nursing. Results indicate that overtime pay is a significant factor, particularly among hospital workers, but otherwise, after accounting for an extensive set of job‐related characteristics, the wage gap persists.
