abstract: 'Changes in women''s relative wages and employment are analyzed, using
|
|
|
|
social security data from Slovenia (1987-1992) and a retrospective labor
|
|
|
|
force survey in Estonia (1989-1994). Estonia adopted liberal labor
|
|
|
|
market policies. Slovenia took an interventionist approach.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, relative wages for women rose in both countries. Factors
|
|
|
|
favoring women included: returns to human capital rose in transition,
|
|
|
|
benefiting women; relative labor demand shifted toward predominantly
|
|
|
|
female sectors; low-wage women had a disproportionate incentive to exit
|
|
|
|
the labor market, especially in Estonia. However, women were less mobile
|
|
|
|
across jobs in both countries, so men disproportionately filled new jobs
|
|
|
|
in expanding sectors. JEL classification: J21, J31.'
