abstract: 'This paper extends the debate about redressing persistent gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in Australia by examining the relationship between labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
productivity and the wage gap in all states and territories (1986-2013).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is a critical case study as Australia''s widening gender wage gap is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contrary to other developed nations. Using four different estimation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methods, we find that reducing the gap by 10\% can boost per capita
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
output up to 3\%. To check the robustness of our findings, we also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
control for the effects of both physical and human capital. Our results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggest there exists a strong business case for eliminating the gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage gap. Given the tangible benefits to both equity and efficiency,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such a goal should be of paramount importance for policy makers. (C)
