Structure of Wage Rates Among Black and White Career Women Presented: New Orleans, LA, Southern Economics Association, 1975 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Racial Differences; Wage Rates This study, drawn from the NLS of Mature Women 30-44, analyzes the impact of differences in human capital and labor market structure upon career women's wage rates and on the racial earnings gap. The results indicate that the determinants of interpersonal differences in wages are formal and informal investments in human capital. Other significant determinants are structural characteristics of occupations, industries, and labor markets which have an important role in explaining wage differentials. Evidence also shows that wage differentials are significant among black and white women. In order to narrow the earnings gap, differences in human capital endowments and market characteristics must be considered. In addition, programs should be designed to eliminate the clustering of black women in lower paying jobs. |
