abstract: 'Wage is not the only thing people care about when assessing the quality
of their jobs. Non-wage job dimensions, such as autonomy at work and
work-life balance, are important as well. Nevertheless, there is vast
literature comparing groups of employed people that focuses on the
inter-group wage gaps only. We go beyond the wage gap by proposing a
framework for analysing inter-group gaps in multidimensional job
quality. Job quality is measured by the so-called equivalent wage, a
measure combining wage and multiple non-wage job dimensions in
accordance with preferences over jobs as combinations of job dimensions.
We derive a decomposition of the inter-group equivalent wage gap into
three components: (1) the standard wage gap, (2) the gap in non-wage
dimensions, and (3) inter-group preference heterogeneity. In an
illustrative empirical application, we focus on the gender gap for
recent university graduates using survey data from 19 countries. Men''s
equivalent wages are substantially higher than women''s, and the
equivalent wage gaps are significantly larger than the wage gaps. This
is because the non-wage job dimensions are on average to men''s
advantage, and the preference heterogeneity is such that men care about
the non-wage dimensions less than women do, and thus suffer less from
having the non-wage dimensions at levels below the perfect level. This
type of decompositions broadens information about labour market
inequalities available to policy makers, but it is up to them to decide
which of the three components of the equivalent wage gap are normatively
relevant for them and whether they should aim to eliminate them.'
