Sex Discrimination in the Reward for Skills and Experience in the Australian Labour Force

Author

Listed:
  • B. D. HAIG

Abstract

Human capital equations are estimated for males and females in Australia, which express earnings as the product of endowments and the return on these endowments. The results are used to examine the effect of discrimination on the difference in the average earnings. The effect of occupational segregation on the earnings of women is also examined.
