abstract: 'This paper investigates gender wage inequality in Sri Lanka during
1992-2014, a period of robust economic growth following pro-market
reforms. The gap in mean wages between men and women decreased steadily
over this period. Unconditional quantile regression reveals the decline
in gender wage inequality was driven by the upper half of the
distribution, and was due to improvements in women''s observable human
capital. Yet, the pay structure became more unequal, indicating widening
gender gaps in the returns to labor market characteristics and in
unobservable determinants of wages. The gender gap in pay structure
widened disproportionately in the lower half of the distribution,
coinciding with falling absolute and relative returns to women in
manufacturing industries and production occupations facing greater
international competition. The study also demonstrates selection bias
underestimates the gender wage gap and overestimates the gains in
equality over time. Factors that hinder gender equality in the labor
market are discussed along with policy implications. (C) 2020 Elsevier
