Equilibrium Job Search and Gender Wage Differentials in the U.K. CLIN Working Paper No. 48, Canadian International Labour Network and McMaster University, June 2001. Also: http://labour.ciln.mcmaster.ca/papers/cilnwp48.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Canadian International Labor Network (CILN) Keyword(s): Britain, British; British Household Panel Survey (BHPS); Cross-national Analysis; Job Search; Unemployment; Unemployment Rate; Wage Differentials Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The role of gender differences in labour market behaviour in determining the UK male-female wage differential is examined using the British Household Panel Study and the general equilibrium job search framework of Bowlus (1997). We find that search behaviour explains 30-35% of the gender wage differential. This is similar to US findings. Despite more generous maternity policies, females in the UK are more likely to exit to non-participation. Finally, we find the level of search friction is lower in the UK than in the US due tolow job destruction rates in the UK. |
