Abstract

. Male and female audiologists earn substantially different sums in the U.S. Inour survey of the practicing audiologists across the continental U.S., it was found that the male audiologists, on the average, earned$9,536 a year more in 1980 than did the female audiologists. The survey data, involving a well‐defined profession where males and females were nearly equally represented, were analysed to check if the observed differential was due to sex‐based productivity differences or to discrimination. Attributed to discrimination must be 64% of the earnings differential; it could not be explained by the relevant supply characteristics of audiologists, viz. experience, schooling, place of employment, marital status, regional concentration, etc. This conclusion was further confirmed by separate regressions of audiologists' earnings by attributing female supply characteristics to the male earnings structure and the male characteristics to the female earnings structure.
