abstract: 'This paper examines how much the observed convergence in the gender wage
|
|
|
|
gap in Japan from 1992 to 2002 is affected by changes in female labor
|
|
|
|
participation behavior. The existing literature focuses on full-time
|
|
|
|
workers, but the replacement of low-paid regular full-time workers by
|
|
|
|
non-regular workers and the introduction of the Equal Employment
|
|
|
|
Opportunity Law may have changed the selection of females in full-time
|
|
|
|
work force. I consider a three choice framework for a woman based on the
|
|
|
|
Roy model: a woman chooses either no work, non-regular work, or regular
|
|
|
|
work. This framework shows that large (potential) wage inequality within
|
|
|
|
a gender can draw high-earning people into the workforce and push
|
|
|
|
low-earning people out. I apply Lee''s (1983) method to the micro data
|
|
|
|
from the Employment Social Surveys 1992 and 2002. The results show that
|
|
|
|
female selection in regular workers became stricter in 2002 and women
|
|
|
|
with low-earning ability tended to be pushed out from regular work
|
|
|
|
force. The wage structure for female regular workers has become more
|
|
|
|
ability based. This change in the female selection explains 63.27\% of
|
|
|
|
the observed convergence in the mean log wage gap between female regular
|
|
|
|
workers and male workers. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
