农民工性别工资差距的分位数回归分析——基于浙江农民工调查的经验研究

Quantile Regression Analysis of Gender Wage Gap in Migrant Workers——Evidence from Zhejiang

本文利用浙江省农民工调查的微观数据,通过分位数回归和分位数分解的方法,研究了男性和女性农民工在整个工资分布上的差异及其影响因素。研究结果表明,随着收入水平的提高,农民工群体间的性别工资差异呈逐步扩大的趋势,但性别工资歧视程度在不断降低。在收入分布的低分位数上,歧视是造成农民工性别工资差距的主要原因;而在高分位数上,个人资源禀赋造成的差异则成为性别工资差距的主要来源。

Based on the micro-data in Zhejiang province urban labor market,the paper explores the gender wage gap among migrant workers at different quantiles using the methods of quantile regression and quantile decomposition.The decomposition shows that with the rise of wage,the gender wage gap is expanding,but the extent of gender wage discrimination is shrinking.The results also indicate that discrimination accounts for the gender wage gap for the lower quantiles while endowments are the main causal factor of gender wage gap for the higher quantiles.
