Despite equal pay decisions in 1969 and 1972, a gender wage differential of around 15 percent exists in 1990. This paper uses information on the number of years worked from the 1984 National Social Science Survey to provide an understanding of the role of intermittent labor-force participation in the wage-determination process in Australia. Differences in years worked between males and females are shown to account for approximately 40 percent of the gender wage gap. The analyses also reveal that males receive higher returns for each additional year of schooling than females. Copyright 1992 by The Economic Society of Australia.
