Abstract |
|
内容記述 |
The gender wage gap is a persistent and pervasive issue that has received significant attention from economists, policymakers, and the general public. Despite efforts to close the gap, it remains a challenge to quantify and understand the sources of this disparity. In this paper, we aim to shed light on the gender wage gap over the life cycle, using data from the Basic Survey on Wage Structure (BSWS) in Japan. This data provides rich information on the wages of employees and offers a unique opportunity to examine the pattern of the gender wage gap across different age groups. The findings indicate that the wage gap widens significantly with age and is most pronounced among highly educated individuals. These results align with Goldin et al. (2017)’s research. Additionally, our study reveals that the gap for high-education worker lessens when controlling for managerlevel positions, suggesting that a significant portion of the wage gap for the high-education can be ascribed to the under-representation of women in these roles. Our quantile analysis also demonstrates that the growing wage gap among older high-wage earners significantly contributes to the overall pattern of gender wage gap. |
