Occupational Gender Composition and Wages in Sweden

Hansen, Jörgen; Wahlberg, Roger - 2000

We estimate the relationship between wages and occupational gender segregation in Sweden. Because of high wage equality in Sweden compared to the U.S., we expect a lower wage penalty of job femaleness in Sweden than in the U.S. Our results supports this hypothesis. We also investigate how the...
