We examine the gender wage gap in Austria from 2005 to 2017 using data from EU-SILC. The raw wage gap declined from 18.6 logpoints in 2005 to 14.9 log points in 2017. We use standard decomposition techniques that correct for differences in the distributionsof human capital and other variables...

We examine the change of the gender wage gap in Austria between 2002 and 2007 using Juhn et al. (Workers and their wages, AEI Press, Washington DC, pp 107–143, <CitationRef CitationID="CR14">1991</CitationRef>) decomposition. We analyze data from Austrian tax records which we merge with social security records and Austrian micro-censuses...</citationref>
