Abstract

Large gender inequalities have persisted in the Serbian labour market. One of the key indicators of labour market inequality is the gender pay gap. This paper examines the gender pay gap in Serbia based on data from the Survey of Income and Living Conditions. Our findings show that on average women earn far less than men, a gap that has increased slightly over time. The paper offers an in-depth analysis of this gender pay gap in Serbia by decomposing the gender pay gap into an explained part related to difference in characteristics and an unexplained part related to differences in returns attributable to these characteristics. In addition, it provides an estimate of selection effects on the gender pay gap using an innovative methodology that corrects for sample selection bias.

塞尔维亚性别工资差距背后的原因是什么?

塞尔维亚劳动力市场上仍然存在很大的性别不平等。劳动力市场不平等的关键指标之一是性别薪酬差距。本文根据收入和生活条件调查的数据研究了塞尔维亚的性别工资差距。我们的研究结果显示，平均而言，女性的收入远低于男性，这一差距随着时间的推移略有扩大。本文通过将性别薪酬差距分解为与特征差异相关的可解释部分和与这些特征导致的回报差异相关的不可解释部分，对塞尔维亚的性别薪酬差距进行了深入分析。此外，它还使用一种创新的方法来估计选择对性别工资差距的影响，这种方法可以纠正样本选择偏差。
