Abstract

This presentation aims to measure the gender wage gap in the Tunisian labor market. My investigation essentially extends the traditional Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition technique (1973). It also proposes a counterfactual analysis along the entire wage distribution. The fundamental basis of this method is to set up a counterfactual distribution that allows us to estimate the male-female wage gap at each quantile. As shown in my empirical analysis, the gender pay gap does not refer to the differences in observable characteristics between males and females. It is rather the outcome of discriminatory practices against women.
