“…Our analysis uses the first cohort of a nationally representative dataset for Switzerland called 'Transitions from Education to Employment' (TREE) (Gomensoro and Meyer, 2017). This longitudinal survey follows a youth cohort that participated in the PISA in 2000 when students were in their last year of compulsory schooling and thus around 16 years old.…”

According to a popular argument in economics, the gender wage gap persists not because of employer discrimination against women, but because of the differential investment of fathers and mothers into paid work and the household. We test this argument by comparing the evolution of wages between men and women before the onset of family formation and gendered household specialization. We use a cohort study of young adults for Switzerland (TREE 2000-2014) and match the two sexes on their intellectual ability and educational attainment before they enter the labour market. We then use the ensuing survey waves to account for human capital and job characteristics as well as for values towards work and family. We replicate our analysis with a second panel study of Swiss graduate students. We find in both cohort studies an unexplained gender wage gap of between 3 to 6 percent in favour of men. This result suggests that young women earn lower wages than young men with the same productive characteristics long before they have children. Translated into annual wages, this means that young women lose out on half a monthly wage each year in comparison to young men.

“…Original Article household specialization. If unequal wages are exclusively caused by differential investment into employment and child-rearing, we should not observe, for a given level of education, field of study and occupation, a gen- 5 der wage gap before men and women have children. On the contrary, an unexplained gender wage gap among childless workers points to discriminatory wage-setting and suggests that young women continue to earn lower wages than young men despite comparable skills 10 (OECD, 2012: p. 172).…”

“…Of particular relevance for our study is the social norm that grants men priority on the labour market. Especially in conservative gender regimes such as in 5 Switzerland, men are encouraged to become breadwinners and women secondary earners. 2 This social norm is shared by both employees and employers and thus likely to translate into higher reference wages for men than women (Lalive and Stutzer, 2010).…”

“…We account for the second mechanism of employment segregation by additionally controlling for differences in labour-market behaviour such as occupation and industry, work experience and job-related human capital. We then account for the third mechan- 5 ism of family formation by excluding from our analysis the wage observations of individuals 3 years before they have children and by additionally controlling for marriage and respondents' value orientations towards work, family, and partnership prior to labour market entry.…”

“…Therefore, success is not defined only in work processes and individual success, but through the added value they generate in society [42]. Thus, entrepreneurship based on the knowledge of the diversity of options differs from other areas of the economy in its ability to influence all aspects of development [43].…”
