abstract: 'This paper examines how much the observed convergence in the gender wage
gap in Japan from 1992 to 2002 is affected by changes in female labor
participation behavior. The existing literature focuses on full-time
workers, but the replacement of low-paid regular full-time workers by
non-regular workers and the introduction of the Equal Employment
Opportunity Law may have changed the selection of females in full-time
work force. I consider a three choice framework for a woman based on the
Roy model: a woman chooses either no work, non-regular work, or regular
work. This framework shows that large (potential) wage inequality within
a gender can draw high-earning people into the workforce and push
low-earning people out. I apply Lee''s (1983) method to the micro data
from the Employment Social Surveys 1992 and 2002. The results show that
female selection in regular workers became stricter in 2002 and women
with low-earning ability tended to be pushed out from regular work
force. The wage structure for female regular workers has become more
ability based. This change in the female selection explains 63.27\% of
the observed convergence in the mean log wage gap between female regular
workers and male workers. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
