“…The average returns to extra year of experience which are significant for both males and females but are higher for females (9.2% & 7.3%) as compared to men (5.7% & 5.3%) in both specifications education years and education dummies. The coefficient of experience square is negative in the earning functions for both males and females (Table 4), which exhibits concavity of the earning functions and decreasing returns to the investment in human capital (Pastore, et al, 2013).…”

The objective of this paper is to analyze the gender earning gaps existing in urban areas of Pakistan using data from a household survey. The earning functions have been estimated separately for males and females using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) as well as quantile regressions including education, literacy, experience, employment related variables such as type of industry and occupation and age as explanatory variables. The earning gaps between males and females have also been analyzed using the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method. Results suggest higher mean earnings for males as compared to females but higher incremental returns to investment in human capital for females at all levels of education. Further, higher returns to schooling have also been noted in bottom part of the income distribution i.e. 5 quantiles at all educational levels. Education, industry of employment and occupations has been emerged as the main determinants of income gap between male and female workers in urban Pakistan.

“…When it comes to jobseekers in Kosovo, and those that are employed, Men and women use slightly different search methods to find jobs. According to (Pastore et al 2013) young men and women, the vast majority of young people (53.5%) rely on their network of family and friends. Direct contacts with prospective employers (19.8%) and answering advertisements (15.0%) are the second largest methods of job search.…”

As Kosovo is moving to the market economy, the matching of its human capital should lead to the more skill-based labour participants when they enter the labour market, in 1% ). Methodology used in this paper is based on the comparative analysis and interpretation of the available data from the Labour force Surveys conducted in Kosovo and also reports from World Bank and other governmental organizations (UNICEF, MLSW, ILO etc) during the last 10 years of transition. Women in Republic of Kosovo that are employed similarly to the ones in other transition countries are concentrated in education and caring activities. The disadvantages of the past and the persisting gender inequalities, call for policy implications of gender mainstreaming throughout the policy making and implementing of

“…Although the inclusion of occupation and other job characteristics as explanatory variables in earnings functions is extremely common (recent examples are Christofides andMichael 2013, andPastore et al 2013), it has been noted by many researchers that this gives rise to endogeneity bias because job outcomes depend on the decisions of workers and employers (see, for example, Beblo et al 2003a, b). Thus, in the second approach, we carry out an analysis of occupational attainment and estimate withinoccupation earnings functions to partially address the concern about endogeneity.…”

Occupational segregation and gender differentials in earnings in Macedonia

This paper examines gender differentials in earnings in Macedonia, with special emphasis on the role of occupational segregation. The lower earnings of women in Macedonia cannot be explained by gender differences in measured human capital endowments. There is a high degree of segregation of jobs along gender lines, the end product of which is lower earnings for women relative to men. Women are over-represented in female-dominated occupations, and feminization of occupations has a negative impact on earnings. Even after controlling for numerous individual and job characteristics and gender composition of occupations, a huge amount of the gender wage gap remains unexplained.JEL codes: J31, P2
