Abstract

The Mincerian earnings functions are estimated using cross section and time series data for Korea during the 1993-2002 period. Male and female workers with university and higher education earn 1.8 and 2.9 times more than those with middle school and under education in 2002, respectively. Korean women earn 78 percent of the hourly rate of average Korean man and the gender gap is found to decline. The year when all workers get the highest wage rate in their working span is around 48 years old. The rate of return to schooling for all workers is found to be around 7 percent. The return for males, 6 percent, is lower than that for females, 8 percent. The rate of return of experience is estimated to be 1.1 percent. The wage premiums for senior officers and managers, and professionals are 78, and 28 percent.
韩国性别收入差距与重返学校教育
使用横截面和时间序列数据估算了1993-2002年期间韩国的Mincerian收益函数。2002年,大学及以上学历的男性和女性的收入分别是中学及以下学历的1.8倍和2.9倍。韩国女性的时薪是韩国男性平均时薪的78%,性别差距正在缩小。所有工人在其工作年限内获得最高工资率的年份是在48岁左右。所有工人重返学校的比率约为7%。男性的回报率为6%,低于女性的8%。经验回报率估计为1.1%。高级管理人员和专业人员的工资溢价分别为78%和28%。
