This paper examines the role of
industrial and occupational segregation in explaining the
gender wage gap and its evolution in Georgia between 2004
and 2015. It first documents the declining trends observed
in the gender wage gap in Georgia during this period,
commenting on some of the possible underlying factors
driving such trends. It then presents evidence that
employment patterns by industry and occupations are highly
concentrated in the country and measures the degree of
segregation using the Duncan index. Next, it analyzes if and
how much industrial and occupational segregation have
contributed to the gender wage gap and its decline by
decomposing the gender wage gap into the within-category and
between-category components. The results point to existing
gender wage gaps within sectors, industries, and occupations
being the primary drivers of the wage gap in Georgia, and
find a smaller role of gender segregation per se in these categories. |
