| Title | Occupational Wage Structure and Gender Inequality in Ukraine |
| Summary | This paper explores the wage structure and investigates factors that influence the wage rates and cause male/female earnings inequality for different occupations and groups of occupations in Ukraine. The data for the research has been taken from the ULMS (Ukrainian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey), the first nationally representative survey of Ukrainian households. All occupations have been classified into two sets of groups. The first set includes predominantly male occupations, predominantly female occupations and mixed occupations. The second set of occupational groups includes highly paid occupations and low paid occupations. The findings show that the raw gender pay gap grows in the low paid and predominantly female occupational groups and falls in predominantly male and highly paid occupational groups in 2004 comparing to 2003. However, in predominantly female and low paid groups the gender pay gap is better explained than the gender pay gap in predominantly male and highly paid groups. In general, the analysis indicates the presence of large male/female earnings inequality in all occupational groups. |
