abstract: 'We assess the impact that full gender equality in the labour market
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
would have on earnings inequality between households, and then decompose
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that impact by looking separately at the roles played by gender gaps in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment, hours, and pay. We do this by applying a reweighting method
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to LIS data for 22 OECD countries, across North America, Europe, and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Australia. We find that full equality in earnings and employment between
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
women and men would reduce household earnings inequality considerably,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with the most substantial reductions coming from closing the gender gap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in employment as opposed to closing the gaps in pay and hours worked. A
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
10\% counterfactual decrease in the gender employment gap (relative to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the country baseline) is associated with an average 0.6\% decline in the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gini for household earnings inequality. Reducing the gender employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gap is thus the pathway through which greater gender equality may most
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
strongly mitigate overall earnings inequality among households: these
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
two key goals for contemporary societies can be pursued simultaneously.'
