The Black-White Wage Gap Among Young Women in 1990 vs. 2011: The Role of Selection and Educational Attainment Labour Economics 33 (April 2015): 66-71. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537115000214 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Racial Differences; Racial Equality/Inequality; Wage Gap In this paper, we compare the black-white median log wage gap for women aged 26-31 in 1990 and 2011. Two stylized facts emerge. First, the pattern of selection in the two years is similar--the gaps observed among women employed in 1990 and 2011 substantially understate the gaps that would have been observed had all 26-31 year-old women been working in those years. Second, both the median log wage gap observed in the data and the selection-corrected gap increased substantially between the two years, a fact that can be mostly attributed to changes in the distributions of educational attainment among young black and white women. |
