Abstract: | In Denmark the equal pay act was put into force in 1976, butthe relative pay of female workers is still considerably belowthe level of male workers in most occupational and educationalgroups, and the decline of the aggregate gender wage gap seemsto have stagnated since the late 1970s. In this study differentexplanations of this evidence are investigated empirically basedon the estimation of a human capital model on a panel sampleof Danish wage earners observed during the period 197990. |
