我们使用两种方法分解2002-2014年越南工资分配方面的性别工资差距。第一种方法使用两个估计的反事实分布;第二种方法使用估计的最近中心影响函数。我们专注于正规部门,并找到了持续存在性别工资差距的证据,其中技能价格是主要因素。相比之下,劳动力市场的歧视并没有产生关键影响。技能分配在一定程度上实现了两性平等,其原因是妇女受教育程度的提高以及妇女参与特定行业、职业和私营部门的增长。
We decompose the gender wage gap in terms of wage distribution in Vietnam during 2002–2014 using two methods. The first method uses two estimated counterfactual distributions; the second uses an estimated recentred influence function. We focus on the formal sector and find evidence for a consistent gender wage gap, with the price of skills being the main contributor. In contrast, labour market discrimination does not have a crucial influence. Some gender equality gained by the distribution of skills can be explained by the rise in women's education and women's participation in specific industries, occupations and the growing private sector.
