Abstract

Abstract: This paper aims to quantify the relationship between occupational gender segregation and gender wage disparities in Pakistan. Non-parametric matching-based decomposition method and a detailed set of individual and labor market characteristics, especially the detailed occupations at a 3-digit level, are used to determine the gender wage gap for males and females in and out of the common support. The results show that even though the inclusion of a detailed set of human capital, labor market characteristics, and occupational segregation by gender helps in explaining most of the gender wage gap, a large proportion of the gender wage gap remained unexplained and can be attributed to gender discrimination. A comparison of rural and urban labor markets shows a high rate of the gender wage gap in rural areas compared to urban areas of the country.

巴基斯坦的职业隔离与性别工资差距:职业分类重要吗?

摘要:本文旨在量化巴基斯坦职业性别隔离与性别工资差异之间的关系。采用基于非参数匹配的分解方法和一组详细的个人和劳动力市场特征，特别是三位数水平的详细职业，来确定共同支持内外男女的性别工资差距。研究结果表明，尽管纳入了一套详细的人力资本、劳动力市场特征和性别职业隔离，有助于解释大部分性别工资差距，但仍有很大一部分性别工资差距无法解释，可以归因于性别歧视。对农村和城市劳动力市场的比较表明，与城市地区相比，农村地区的性别工资差距很大。
