| Abstract: | The transition of women into the U.S. labor market was surely one of the most profound economic and social changes of the 20th century. Paper examines evidence from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth on recent trends and current sources of the gender gap. The author supposes that understanding the gender gap in pay is important because even in the absence of any labor- market discrimination it is unlikely that the wage rates of women and men would be equal. As it is shown in the article, the unadjusted gender gap can be explained to a large extent by nondiscriminatory factors. |
