“…In brief, the pay structure of public sector employees can have a significant impact on labour market competitiveness and fiscal sustainability (Depalo et al, 2018). A better understating of wage differentials in the public and private sector can also have significant implications for economic development.…”

Compensation structures of public sector employees have significant implications for public service delivery and employment. If public sector employees get relatively lower pay, then the government can face difficulties in retaining trained and qualified workers. However, if public sector employees receive higher salaries it is possible that younger people may prefer to join the public sector. If this is accompanied by limited job absorption capacity in the public sector, it is possible for there to be substantial unemployment. This study has analysed the wage differentials by using the data from the Pakistan Labour Force Survey 2020-21. Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition suggests that at the executive level, public sector workers are facing wage penalties, while other occupational groups in the public sector are enjoying wage premiums. The highest wage premiums are for clerical staff followed by unskilled workers, services, technician, professionals and agricultural workers

“…The decomposition methods have been applied to a wide variety of topics, including test scores gaps between genders (Sohn, 2008), schools (Krieg and Storer, 2006) or countries (McEwan and Marshall, 2004), differences in students' enrollment (Borooah and Iyer, 2005), differences in health insurance coverage between different demographic groups (Bustamante et al, 2009), or gender differences in smoking behavior (Bauer et al, 2007). However, most decomposition studies revolved around wage gaps between genders Kunze (2008), race (Barsky et al, 2002), unionization status (Card, 1996), or public-private employees (Depalo and Pereda-Fernández, 2020).…”

I address the decomposition of the differences between the distribution of outcomes of two groups when individuals self-select themselves into participation. I differentiate between the decomposition for participants and the entire population, highlighting how the primitive components of the model affect each of the distributions of outcomes. Additionally, I introduce two ancillary decompositions that help uncover the sources of differences in the distribution of unobservables and participation between the two groups. The estimation is done using existing quantile regression methods, for which I show how to perform uniformly valid inference. I illustrate these methods by revisiting the gender wage gap, finding that changes in female participation and self-selection have been the main drivers for reducing the gap.
