Gender Earnings Inequality in Reform-Era Urban China
2020Co-Authors: Gloria Guangye He, Xiaogang WuAbstract:This paper analyzes data from the 2005 population mini-census and prefecture-level statistics to investigate the trend in gender Earnings Inequality and the driving forces behind the trend in reform-era urban China. We pay special attention to the different impacts of marketization and economic development on gender Earnings Inequality. Cross-sectoral analyses show that the gender Earnings gap is smallest in government and public institutions and increases for more marketized sectors. At the prefectural level, we match the mini-census data with prefecture-level statistics and differentiate the effect of economic development from that of marketization. Multi-level analyses show that marketization and economic development affect gender Inequality in different ways: the market force has exacerbated gender Earnings Inequality, whereas economic development has reduced it. Overall, marketization appears to be the main driver of the increasing gender Earnings Inequality in urban China. Our findings shed new light on the changing gender Inequality and the effective policies to promote gender equality in urban China’s labor markets.

marketization occupational segregation and gender Earnings Inequality in urban china
Social Science Research, 2017Co-Authors: Guangye He, Xiaogang WuAbstract:Abstract This article analyzes a large sample of the 2005 population mini-census data and prefecture-level statistics of China to investigate gender Earnings Inequality in the context of economic marketization, paying special attention to the changing role of occupational segregation in the process. We approximate marketization by employment sectors and also construct an index of marketization at the prefecture level. Results show that, despite the tremendous economic growth, marketization has exacerbated gender Earnings Inequality in urban China's labor markets. Gender Earnings Inequality is the smallest in government/public institutions, followed by public enterprises, and then private enterprises. The gender Inequality also increases with the prefecture's level of marketization. Multilevel analyses show that occupational segregation plays an important role in affecting gender Earnings Inequality: the greater the occupational segregation, the more disadvantaged women are relative to men in Earnings in a prefecture's labor market. Moreover, the impact of occupational segregation on gender Earnings Inequality increases with the prefectural level of marketization. These findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of gender Earnings Inequality and have important implications for policy to promote gender equality in urban China.

Regional Earnings Inequality in Great Britain: Evidence from Fixed-Effects Regressions
Labour, 2007Co-Authors: Heather Suzanne DickeyAbstract:Earnings Inequality in Great Britain has increased substantially over the last two decades at both the national and regional levels. This paper examines the determinants of regional hourly Earnings over the period 1976-95 by estimating regional fixed-effects Earnings equations. Using panel data from the New Earnings Survey, individual-specific heterogeneity is controlled for, and superior estimates of the factors affecting regional Earnings are obtained. Increasing returns to skill, increasing industrial differentials, and increasing premiums for older workers are found to have contributed to increasing regional Earnings Inequality, and consequently rising Earnings Inequality at the national level.

regional Earnings Inequality in great britain evidence from quantile regressions
Journal of Regional Science, 2007Co-Authors: Heather Suzanne DickeyAbstract:The increase in national Earnings Inequality in Great Britain over the last two decades has predominantly been a result of increasing Earnings Inequality within the regions of Great Britain, and not rising Inequality between regions. However, there is a severe lack of empirical research exploring the evolution of Earnings Inequality within regions. This paper investigates the causes of rising within-region Inequality in Great Britain. It examines the changes that have taken place between 1976 and 1995, and regional quantile regressions are estimated to reveal those factors that have contributed to the rise in within-region Inequality.

National and Regional Earnings Inequality in Great Britain: Evidence from Quantile Regressions
2004Co-Authors: Heather Suzanne DickeyAbstract:Earnings Inequality in Great Britain has increased substantially over the last two decades at both the national and regional levels. This paper examines the changes that have taken place within both the national and regional distributions of Earnings in Great Britain over the period 1976 to 1995. The estimation of national OLS and quantile regressions highlights those factors that have contributed to the rise in national Earnings Inequality, while the estimation of regional quantile Earnings equations reveal the causes of increasing regional Earnings Inequality..

Regional Earnings Inequality in Great Britain: A Decomposition Analysis
Regional Studies, 2001Co-Authors: Heather Suzanne DickeyAbstract:This paper investigates the degree of Earnings Inequality in Great Britain over the period 1975-96 using individual-based data. It finds that the contribution of within-group Inequality to both Earnings Inequality cross-sectionally and to its trend over time is substantially more important than the contribution of between-group Inequality. Thus, the primary source of increasing Inequality in the overall Earnings distribution is increasing Inequality within regions and not differences in average Earnings between regions. A decomposition of the Gini coefficient is also adopted to illustrate how regional convergence in average Earnings has been accompanied by increasing overall Earnings Inequality in the UK. A partir des donnees aupres des particuliers, cet article cherche a examiner l'importance de l'inegalite des revenus regionaux en Grande-Bretagne de 1975 a 1996. Il en resulte que la contribution de l'inegalite a l'interieur du groupe a l'inegalite des revenus par echantillon et sur le temps s'avere nett...

Earnings Inequality, Labour Supply and Schooling in Husband-Wife Families
Bulletin of Economic Research, 2007Co-Authors: John H. PencavelAbstract:This paper describes the association between market work and Earnings Inequality across families over the life cycle and over calendar time with special attention to the different experiences of college-educated and high-school-educated people. A concise and effective accounting framework is developed that allows for an assessment of the effect of the growing market employment of married women on family Earnings Inequality. Applying this framework to pseudo-panel data from successive Current Population Surveys indicates that the increase in wives' employment has diminished the growth in family Earnings Inequality especially for well-educated couples. Inferences about the level and change in Earnings Inequality depend on the degree of labor market attachment of the people studied especially in the case of wives.

Earnings Inequality and Market Work in Husband-Wife Families
Research in Labor Economics, 2006Co-Authors: John H. PencavelAbstract:Constructing pseudo-panel data from successive Current Population Surveys, this paper analyzes Earnings Inequality in husband and wife families over the life cycle and over time. Particular attention is devoted to the role of labor supply in influencing measures of Earnings Inequality. Compact and accurate descriptions of Earnings Inequality are derived that facilitate the analysis of the effect of the changing market employment of wives on Earnings Inequality. The growing propensity of married women to work for pay has mitigated the increase in family Earnings Inequality. Alternative measures of Earnings Inequality covering people with different degrees of attachment to the labor market are constructed. Inferences about the extent and changes in Earnings Inequality are sensitive to alternative labor supply definitions especially in the case of wives.

a life cycle perspective on changes in Earnings Inequality among married men and women
The Review of Economics and Statistics, 2006Co-Authors: John H. PencavelAbstract:The connection between changes in Earnings Inequality of individuals and changes in family Earnings involves several links: the movements in the employment of different family members, the association between changes in husbands' and in wives' Earnings, and patterns of assortative mating. A decomposition of the logarithm of the coefficient of variation in family Earnings identifies these links. The data on the dispersion of family Earnings are organized not simply over time, but also by age. The growth in wives' relative employment and Earnings has partly offset the effects on family Earnings Inequality of the increase in husbands' Earnings Inequality.

Earnings instability and Earnings Inequality of males in the united states 1967 1991
Journal of Labor Economics, 2001Co-Authors: Steven J HaiderAbstract:Although much research has focused on recent increases in annual Earnings Inequality in the United States, the increases could have come from either of two sources: the distribution of lifetime Earnings could have become more unequal or the receipt of lifetime Earnings could have become more unstable. Based on an analysis of the 1968–92 Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find that lifetime Earnings Inequality increased during the early 1980s and that Earnings instability increased during the 1970s. We also examine how these trends are related to changes in the distribution of wages and hours and the returns to education.
