Changes in the Male/Female Wage Gap, 1976-85.

Wellington, Alison J.

Journal of Human Resources, v28 n2 p383-411 Spr 1993

Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics showed a 4% decrease in the gender wage gap for whites between 1976 and 1985. White men tend to have higher earnings because of more tenure in areas with greater rewards; women tend to have more part-time experience, which has fewer such rewards. (SK)
