Abstract

In this paper I use microdata from the Luxembourg Income Study t s investigate the contributions of industrial structure, occupational mix and personal and family characteristics to observed gender differences in wages in Australia, Sweden and the United States. A particular effort is made to analyse differences in distribution as well as level of wages. The conclusion reached is that different factors determine the wages of low‐ and high‐wage workers. For higher‐wage workers, personal and family characteristics are important explanations for wage variation. For lower‐wage workers, occupation plays a more significant role.
