Tiivistelmä:This paper is based on the gender wage gap, measured by the log of monthly wages, more than doubled in Belarus from 1996 to 2006. Using the Machado and Mata (2005) analysis of the gender gap distribution, the author suggests the following: i) this reveals that the effect of coefficients on observed characteristics in widening the gap was increasing over time, especially in the lower and middle deciles of the wage distribution. At the same time, the effect of the characteristics themselves in reducing the gap was shrinking. The decomposition of changes in the gap over time, based on Juhn (et al.) ii) the analysis carried out in line with Neuman and Oaxaca (2004) suggests that the increased gap was not caused by sample selection. Instead, two observed factors are found to be mainly responsible for the results: hours of work have increased for men more than for women and women have experienced segregation in low-wage industries.
