Abstract: Il lavoro si propone di affrontare il problema della discriminazione salariale di genere sotto il profilo giuridico ed economico. La prima parte è volta a fornire, molto genericamente, la cornice giuridica di quanto si andrà ad approfondire dal punto di vista economico; la seconda, invece, affronta il tema della discriminazione salariale da un punto di vista economico.

Abstract: Il saggio intende analizzare il fenomeno del divario retributivo di genere e la direttiva (UE) 2023/970 in vista della sua trasposizione nell’ordinamento italiano, offrendo una prima valutazione sul possibile impatto di tale provvedimento. La metodologia adottata è quella dell’analisi normativa della fonte euro-unitaria, integrata da quella dell’analisi sociale volta a ricostruire il fenomeno delle discriminazioni in materia di retribuzione.

Abstract: In this paper, we measure the amount of gender discrimination in the Italian labour market, using the ISFOL PLUS database and covering the period between 2005 and 2010. We adopt a quantile regression decomposition methodology, in order to measure the gender wage gap across the entire distribution of earnings. Moreover, we test the robustness of our estimates by comparing the quantile regression decomposition results when more dependent variables are added to the model. Finally, by comp ...; [Read more...] In this paper, we measure the amount of gender discrimination in the Italian labour market, using the ISFOL PLUS database and covering the period between 2005 and 2010. We adopt a quantile regression decomposition methodology, in order to measure the gender wage gap across the entire distribution of earnings. Moreover, we test the robustness of our estimates by comparing the quantile regression decomposition results when more dependent variables are added to the model. Finally, by comparing the results obtained from a random effect regression to those obtained using the Hausman-Taylor regression model, we test whether the estimated level of discrimination changes when correlation of time varying characteristics to the unobservable individual heterogeneity is allowed. The results show that, other things being equal, female employees earn around 10% less than men employees. This percentage is increasing with wages, sometimes reaching levels higher than 20% toward the top of the earnings distribution. The gap in earnings is increasing with age.

In quest’articolo si stima il livello di discriminazione di genere presente nel mercato del lavoro italiano, usando le annualità dal 2005 al 2010 del database ISFOL PLUS. Per questo proposito si utilizza una decomposizione basata sulla quantile regression, metodo che consente di stimare la diseguaglianza di genere lungo l’intera distribuzione dei salari. Inoltre, si conduce un’analisi sulla robustezza dei risultati, confrontando le stime ottenute aggiungendo un maggior numero di variabili dipendenti. Infine, si confrontano i livelli di discriminazione ottenuti da una regressione col metodo dei random effects, rispetto ai risultati ottenuti da una regressione col metodo Hausman-Taylor, metodo che è valido anche nel caso di correlazione tra abilità individuali non osservabili e caratteristiche osservabili che abbiano una sufficiente variabilità temporale. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che le donne, tenuto costante un determinato livello di capitale umano, guadagnano circa il 10% in meno dei dipendenti maschi. Questa percentuale cresce all’aumentare dei salari, raggiungendo livelli talvolta superiori al 20% per i redditi più alti. Inoltre, le differenze salariali sono maggiori al crescere dell’età.

Abstract: The 2014/15 edition examines the link between wages and inequality at the household level. It shows that wages constitute the largest single source of income for households with at least one member of working age in most countries and points to changes in wages and paid employment as key factors underlying recent trends in inequality. The report also considers wage gaps between certain groups, such as those between women and men, migrants and nationals, and workers in the informal and ...; [Read more...] The 2014/15 edition examines the link between wages and inequality at the household level.

Abstract: This report analyses the evolution of real wages around the world, giving a unique picture of wage trends globally and by region. It provides data on the links between wages and productivity, labour income shares, wage inequality, minimum wages and gender pay gaps. The 2016/17 edition also examines inequality at the workplace level, providing empirical evidence on the extent to which wage inequality is the result of wage inequality between enterprises as well as wage inequality within ...; [Read more...] This report analyses the evolution of real wages around the world, giving a unique picture of wage trends globally and by region.

The report also includes a review of key policy issues regarding wages.
