Sex Differentials in the Earnings of Ph.D.s

Ferber, Marianne A.; Kordick, Betty

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 31, 2, 227-38, Jan 78

A survey of two cohorts of men and women who received Ph.D. degrees did not support hypotheses that the lower earnings of the women were due to their voluntary decisions, e.g., career interruptions. It was concluded that this study confirmed and extended other recent research that discrimination is a major source of sex differentials. (MF)
