“…For the last decades there is no clear agreement on the tendency that the gender earnings gaps have followed. The overall difference shave narrowed but the unexplained component of the gap, overall, has not (Liu, 2001, 2003; Son, 2007). The results seem to show that it has reduced in some percentiles of the earnings distribution (Pham and Reilly, 2006).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze gender disparities in labor earnings for a comprehensive set of 64 countries. Design/methodology/approach -Using the methodological approach proposed by Ñ opo, socio-demographic characteristics are used to match males and females such that gender earnings disparities are computed only among individuals with the same observable characteristics. Findings -Disparities are partially attributed to gender differences in observable socio-demographic and job characteristics. After matching males and females with the same characteristics, the authors found that the earnings gap falls within a range between 8 per cent and 48 per cent of average females' earnings, being more pronounced in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The unexplained earnings gaps are more pronounced among part-time workers and those with low education levels. Originality/value -This paper presents a comprehensive view of gender earnings gaps in the world, simultaneously exploring many of the issues highlighted in the related literature. It adds value by exploring gender gaps in a comparative perspective, applying the same methods for several different countries.

Gender Earnings Gaps in the World

Gender Earnings Gaps in the World *This paper documents gender disparities in labor earnings for sixty-four countries around the world. Disparities are partially attributed to gender differences in observable sociodemographic and job characteristics. These characteristics are used to match males and females such that gender earnings disparities are computed only among individuals with the same characteristics, as in Ñopo ( 2008). After comparing males and females with the same characteristics we found that the earnings gap falls within a range between 8% and 48% of average females' earnings, being more pronounced in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The unexplained earnings gaps are more pronounced among part-time workers and those with low education.

“…The possible reasons that have been found to be associated to gender earnings disparities are sectorial segregation to lower wage sectors against female (Tzannatos, 1999), lower female supply along with wage structure (Blau and Kahn,2001), labor market institution and liberalization (Weichselbaumer et al, 2007;Blau and Kahn, 2001;Cornish, 2007 andTzannatos, 1999), and reduction on observed gender differences in characteristics such as education, experience, and geographical location (Son, 2007) among others. Education also plays an important role in explaining wage differentials (Ñopo et al, 2011).…”
