这项研究基于《工资结构基本调查》(1989-2003)的微观数据集，考察了日本工资分布的近期趋势。我们对小时工资分布的变化进行了几次分解分析。我们观察到，较低的教育回报和任职年限有助于缩小两性群体之间的收入差距。一个群体内的较大差异导致了男性的工资差异，而工人属性的异质性增加导致了女性的工资差异。Dinardo、Fortin和Lemieux分解用参数方差分解证实了基本发现。
This study examines the recent trend of the Japanese wage distribution based on a micro-level data set from the Basic Survey on Wage Structure (1989-2003). We perform several decomposition analyses of changes in the distribution of the hourly wage. We observe that lower returns to education and years of tenure contribute to a diminishing income disparity between groups for both sexes. A larger variance within a group contributes to the wage disparity for males, while an increased heterogeneity of workers' attributes contributes to the wage disparity for females. The Dinardo, Fortin, and Lemieux decomposition confirms the basic findings with a parametric variance decomposition.
