| Abstract: | Under state socialism, women fared relatively well in the labor market: female-male wage differentials were similar to those in the West, and female labour force participation rates were among the highest in the world. Have these women maintained their relative positions since the introduction of market reforms? The author investigates this question using household surveys from seven formerly socialist countries. The results indicate a consistent increase in female relative wages across Eastern Europe, and a substantial decline in female relative wages in Russia and Ukraine. |
