“…Produced by the authors based on PNAD, 2012. directions, in keeping with the human capital theory and thus confirming Hypothesis 1. The results in this paper are in line with expectations, as other studies on gender differentials such as those of Bastos et al (2004), Akhmedjonov (2012) and Muñoz-Bull on (2009), all also reported wage differentials that went unexplained by differences in production attributes and are therefore eligible for classification as discrimination.…”

“…These include all the major economic areas of the world, that is, the United States (Kim, 2013;Konstantopoulos and Constant, 2008), China (Chen et al, 2013), Japan (Miyoshi, 2008), India (Rendall, 2012), Russia (Semykina and Linz, 2007), and all member countries of the European Union (European Commission, 2014).

On average, women earn less than men. This is evident in countries with the largest economies of the world. The purpose of this research is to discover whether a woman's name rather than that of a man contributes to this difference. In an experiment involving 281 employees from several companies, participants were asked to pretend that they were human resource managers. They were required to offer a salary to a female or male applicant for a sales representative or manager's job, and to also suggest a salary for a niece or nephew for similar jobs. Participants received identical curriculum vitae (CV) for each job, but half who were randomly selected received a female name on the CV and the other half a male name. On five measures for both jobs, all female applicants and nieces "received" lower salaries than male applicants and nephews, irrespective of their gender, age, or position.

“…Miki and Yuval (2011) further observe that Israeli women tend to seek higher levels of educational attainment than men in order to reduce the gender wage gap; they conclude that this strategy is effective for women with strong abilities. In Turkey, Akhmedjonov (2012) reports that the wage differential between men and women is almost entirely explained by discrimination.…”

Gender earnings discrimination in Jordan: Good intentions are not enough

Jordan has long been a party to the main international instruments prohibiting discrimination against women, yet it still displays a significant gender pay gap. Using data from the 2002, 2006 and 2008 Household Expenditure and Income Surveys for decomposition analysis, while also accounting for the labour force participation decisions of women and men, the author finds that the pay gap is entirely explained by gender differentials in his estimated coefficients. The gap is initiated upon recruitment into wage employment through “screening discrimination”, though it tends to narrow over time. Women's selectively low participation also contributes to a statistical improvement in their relative earnings.
