本研究使用包含受访者毕业院校详细信息的数据集，调查了日本获得大学学位与劳动收入之间的关系中存在的性别差距。特别是，我们专注于大学的排名作为一个因素。我们发现，获得大学学位，无论大学排名如何，即使在控制儿童时期的教育和文化经历之后，男性和女性的收入也与较高的收入呈正相关，但这种关系对男性来说更强。此外，只有男性工人从高等院校毕业与较高收入有着显著的正相关关系。此外，高等院校学位与妇女的配偶劳动收入之间的关系是积极和重要的。因此，获得高等教育福利的机会很可能与男子和妇女为获得经济成功所走的不同道路有关。
This study investigates the gender gap present in the relationship between obtaining a college degree and labour earnings in Japan, using a dataset that contains detailed information about the colleges from which the respondents graduated. In particular, we focus on the ranking of colleges as a factor. We find that obtaining a college degree, regardless of the college ranking, is positively correlated with higher earnings even after controlling educational and cultural experiences in childhood, for both men and women, but that this relationship is stronger for men. Moreover, graduating from a high-ranking college is positively and significantly associated with higher earnings for male workers only. Further, the relationship between a high-ranking college degree and women’s spousal labour earnings is positive and significant. Thus, opportunities to obtain higher education benefits are most likely connected to the different paths that men and women take to attain economic success.
