Abstract The aim of this paper is to present an original approach estimate the gender pay gap (GPG). We propose a model-based decomposition, similar most popular approaches, where first component measures differences in group characteristics and second unexplained effect; latter being real gap. novel incorporates model selection bias correction. problem small area context considered paper, alth...

The rate of return to education has been paid much attention by the labor market in China. mainstream literature maintains that women's is higher than men’s.

This paper examines whether non‐cognitive skills (personality traits and risk attitudes) influence self‐selection into employment the choice between public private sectors and, if so, how they relate to wages in each sector. The methodology combines multinomial logistic regression model patterns of selection with an Oaxaca–Blinder‐type decomposition intersectoral wage gap. I find that personali...

We analyze the factors that determine human capital formation in rural and urban sectors of Nepal decompose intersectoral difference into variables underlying supply demand for capital. In particular, we examine role access to primary secondary schools as well socioeconomic, demographic, geographic characteristics households. Our results are based on Living Standards Survey data 2004 2011. find...

Abstract The digital divide between rural and urban areas is becoming the key factors resulting educational imbalance, which might be exacerbated by differences in teachers’ teaching competence.

Researchers have long puzzled over China's high household savings rate. Some hypothesized that the explanation lies with One-Child Policy (OCP). According to this hypothesis, faced fewer children support them in their old age, Chinese parents increased finance retirement. Previous research relied on empirical studies of relationship between and saving behavior. However, all these based analysis...

ABSTRACT This article investigates the gender differential effects of technical and vocational education training (TVET) in Tanzania, using data from 2014 Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS). The multinomial logit model results for employment mobility show that TVET significantly improves males’ as well females’ chances entering into formal employment, while reducing their probability working...

BACKGROUND Women and men share similar health challenges yet women report poorer health. The study investigates the social determinants of self-reported health in women and men, and male-female differences in health. METHODS Data on 103154 men and 125728 women were analysed from 57 countries in the World Health Survey 2002-2004. Item Response Theory was used to construct a composite measure o...
