| Abstract: | This article compares the gender pay gap among chief executive officers (CEOs) in a sample of Norwegian tourism and manufacturing firms. The results confirm that female CEOs are wage discriminated in both sectors. Even though the tourism industry offers women better odds of reaching the top, the gender wage gap is larger in tourism since the female CEOs in this industry are employed in relatively smaller firms that offer less pay than is the case in manufacturing. The results should induce the large female workforce in the tourism industry to pursue more challenging leadership positions. |
