摘要 本文实证调查了 2005 年至 2009 年期间孟加拉国的性别工资差距。应用无条件分位数回归模型，文章表明，在整个工资分布中，女性的工资低于男性，并且分布低端的差距更大。对妇女的歧视是工资差距的主要决定因素。文章还表明，如果我们忽略全职就业的选择，观察到的性别工资差距可能会被低估。讨论了许多政策影响。
Abstract This article empirically investigates the gender wage gap in Bangladesh during the period 2005–2009. Applying unconditional quantile regression models, the article demonstrates that women are paid less than men throughout the wage distribution and the gap is higher at the lower end of the distribution. Discrimination against women is the primary determinant of the wage gap. The article also demonstrates that the observed gender wage gap is likely to be underestimated if we ignore selection in full-time employment. A number of policy implications are discussed.
