Abstract-This paper uses a rich employer-employee matched data set to investigate the existence and the extent of nonprofit and part-time wage and compensation differentials in child care. The empirical strategy adjusts for workers' self-selection into the for-profit or the nonprofit sector and into full-time or part-time work, as well as for unobserved worker heterogeneity, using a discrete factor model. We find differences between the regimes (full-time for-profit, full-time nonprofit, part-time for-profit, part-time nonprofit) in the manner in which human capital characteristics of the workers are rewarded. There is substantial variation in wages as a function of employee characteristics, and there is variation in wages within sectors. The results indicate that part-time jobs are good jobs in center-based child care, and there exist nonprofit wage and compensation premia, which support the property-rights hypothesis.

“…Recent economy-wide studies of comprehensive datasets demonstrate, on average, no systematic difference between wages in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors after controlling for individual, job, and workplace attributes (Leete 2001;Ruhm and Borkoski 2003). Some studies even discover premiums in the nonprofit sector (Holtmann andIdson 1993 andMocan andTekin 2003). 12 In sum, while more evidence is needed, workers at socially responsible firms do not appear to be sacrificing wages or other forms of compensation.…”

“…Our results corroborate the existence of wage differentials within the nonprofit sector, but these differentials are not as large as the ones between the for-profit and the nonprofit sector. 12 There are several studies that find a better quality of services leading to higher wage rates in the nonprofit sector, including Weisbrod (1988), Ullmann and Holtman (1985), Cohen and Spector (1996), Holtman andIdson (1993), andGertler (1989). On the other hand, Gertler (1992) observes better quality in the for-profit sector.…”

“…The analysis follows Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) in decomposing wage differentials to discern the relative strength of key explanatory variables in accounting for the wage differentials and the proportion of these effects due to sectoral differences in mean attributes and sectoral valuation of those attributes (coefficients) (Holtmann and Idson, 1993).…”

In April 2000, Japan embarked on a reform of its health care market. Along with the introduction of the long-term care insurance scheme, the government for the first time allowed for-profit operators to compete head-on with non-profit operators in the provision of at-home care services.Taking advantage of a unique and rich micro-level survey, this study is the first to examine wage differentials between the nonprofit and the for-profit sector in Japan's nursing care industry, concentrating on home helpers and staff nurses. Controlling for nonrandom unobserved selection biases, our results show that a nonprofit wage premium exists. This finding supports the hypothesis that nonprofit providers operate under non-distributional constraints.Classification Code: I11
