abstract: 'Gender wage inequality is a chronic socioeconomic malice in developed as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well as in developing countries. This paper describes the outcomes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
our study on the estimation of gender wage gap in the Indian labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market, using the 68th Round NSSO employment-unemployment data. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study uses Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique and Heckman two-step
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methodology, for removal of selectivity bias in the sample data, to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measure the components of total gender wage gap, viz. (1) occupational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
segregation (explained by economic rationale) and (2) direct
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination (not explained by economic rationale). The analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicates that the maximum direct discrimination is for job-related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors, such as industry type which are controlled by employers. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
majority of the Indian employers today are men, which may be the reason
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the insensitivity to the chronic direct discrimination against women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in workplaces. The study also indicates that most of the explained
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender wage gap is due to lower skill and experience amongst women. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings suggest that besides labour law reforms for ensuring gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neutrality in workplaces, focused government policies for promoting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women entrepreneurship and skill development of women are urgently
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
required for reducing the gender wage gap in India.'
