|
|

|
|
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
