This paper addresses the impact of occupational choice and the perception of gender roles on the gender wage differential. The author examines the effect of occupational choice upon the level of wages and investigates the determinants of occupational choice. The evidence supports earlier findings that the wage differential is caused by demand discrimination within occupations. The author also concludes that, if females had a less traditional attitude toward their role in the labor market, they would generate an occupational distribution that would produce a higher wage.
