abstract: 'We consider and attempt to understand the gender wage gap across 26
European countries, using 2007 data from the European Union Statistics
on Income and Living Conditions.(4)The size of the gender wage gap
varies considerably across countries, definitions of the gap, and
selection-correction mechanisms. Most of the gap cannot be explained by
the characteristics available in this data set. Quantile regressions
show that, in a number of countries, the wage gap is wider at the top
(''glass ceilings'') and/or at the bottom of the wage distribution
(''sticky floors''). We find larger mean/median gender gaps and more
evidence of glass ceilings for full-time full-year employees, suggesting
more female disadvantage in `better'' jobs. These features may be related
to country-specific policies that cannot be evaluated at the
individual-country level, at a point in time. We use the cross-country
variation in the unexplained wage gaps of this larger-than-usual sample
of states to explore the influence of (i) country policies that
reconcile work and family life and (ii) their wage-setting institutions.
We find that country policies and institutions are related to features
of their unexplained gender wage gaps in systematic, quantitatively
important, ways. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.'
