abstract: 'Purpose This paper examines the presence of a gender wage gap in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trinidad and Tobago and its possible influences.

Methodology Investigation of the issue utilised data from the 2009/2008
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Household Budget Survey. A combination of linear regression and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis permits segregation of wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences into explained and unexplained.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings At the aggregate level, there is a significant difference
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between male and female wages. Investigation showed that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
demographics with the highest levels of discrimination were in the age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups 44-35, income levels 5,999\$-3,000\$ and private sector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment versus public sector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Social implications Contrary to males, females continue to exhibit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improvements within employment, labour force participation and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational attainment. Continued discrimination within the workplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
may erode many of the positives in the last couple of decades.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originality/value The results of this research can serve as a useful
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tool for more gender-sensitive employment policies in Trinidad and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tobago, and possibly the wider Caribbean region.'
