| Abstract: | The authors report the first large-scale empirical investigation of within-job wage differences between men and women in the same occupation and establishment , using data first on blue-collar and clerical employees from 16 US industries in 1974-83 and second on employee in 10 professional and administrative occupations. The authors report three findings. first, wage differences at the occupation-establishment level were small even without controls for individual-level characteristics. Second , established segregation was an important cause of wage differences. Third, establishment segregation was extensive, as was occupational segregation. |
