Using bias-corrected methods on administrative data from Italy’s Veneto region, I reject this null hypothesis. On average, white-collar workers receive premia that are 13%–15% higher than those of their blue-collar counterparts. This average disparity conceals substantial heterogeneity: half of the top 20% of firms for white-collar workers fall within the bottom 60% of the blue-collar distribution. High-type firms are, thus, not equally beneficial for all employees. Finally, the paper shows that firm premia differentiation has a long history: since the late 1980s, employers have steadily reduced the rents shared with blue-collar workers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102816"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145465496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These gaps have multiple short-term effects on workers in addition to reducing contributory pensions. Using a 14-year panel from Chile, we find that earners in the two lowest wage deciles experience substantially higher gaps, a result that persists after controlling for extensive covariates, individual fixed effects and applying instrumental variables. The remaining incidence of the wage decile on earner gaps is a collective attribute of each wage decile that may help guide policy. We also analyze total gaps—which include periods of inactivity—using a 35-year administrative panel. Total gap frequency declines from 91–90% in the lowest decile to 26% in the highest, a larger inequality than in other estimates. We further measure the dispersion of cumulative total gaps over a 20-year horizon, starting from different initial earnings deciles. Finally, we review reasons for weak political incentives to reduce earner gaps through closing statutory exemptions and increasing enforcement budgets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 102807"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The policy led targeted students to apply to and enroll in more prestigious, higher-paying STEM majors and attenuated the influence of socioeconomic background on major choices.

However, it has limited effects on their annual working months, monthly wages, and annual earnings once being off-farm employed. Furthermore, the program’s impact on men’s off-farm employment is modest compared to that for women, suggesting that although PARP is designed to be gender-neutral, it has generated more favorable labour market effects for women than for men. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the increase in women’s off-farm employment is more pronounced among those with lower educational attainment, those who are married, those with resident children, as well as those relocated to urban or collective sites.
