Gender Wage Disparities among the Highly Educated Working Paper, Centre for Economic Performance, London, England, November 2003. Also: http://cep.lse.ac.uk/seminarpapers/05-12-03-BLA.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics & Political Science Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We argue that among the highly educated, pre-labor market factors are responsible for more than half the measured gender wage gap. Further, women's lower level of labor market experience accounts for a substantial portion of the remaining gap. The non-parametric analysis we employ makes no functional forms assumption and forces us to directly address the support issue. Without careful attention to these two issues and more accurate data on education attainment, the role of pre-labor market factors and women's lower level of labor market experience in explaining gender wage disparities is greatly understated. |
