We examine the gender wage gap in Austria from 2005 to 2017 using data from EU-SILC. The raw gap of hourly wages declined from 18.6 log points in 2005 to 14.9 log points in 2017. We use standard decomposition techniques that correct for differences in the distributions of human capital and other variables between men and women. Decompositions of the wage gap indicate that both the explained and the unexplained part of the gender wage gap decreased substantially over the last ten years. Using the approach developed by Neumark (J Hum Resour 22:279–295, 1988), the unexplained wage gap shrank from 8.7 log points in 2005 to 5.1 log points in 2017. The main reason for the decline in wage differences was the relative improvement of women’s observed and unobserved characteristics.

我们使用EU-SILC的数据研究了2005年至2017年奥地利的性别工资差距。每小时工资的原始差距从2005年的18.6个对数点下降到2017年的14.9个对数点。我们使用标准的分解技术来校正男女之间人力资本分配和其他变量的差异。工资差距的分解表明，在过去十年中，性别工资差距的已解释和无法解释的部分都大大减少了。使用Neumark（J Hum Resour 22：279–295，1988）开发的方法，无法解释的工资差距从2005年的8.7对数缩小到2017年的5.1对数。工资差异下降的主要原因是相对改善。妇女观察和未观察到的特征。
