We present empirical evidence that large structural shocks are followed by changes in labor market inequality. Specifically, we study short-run fluctuations in adjusted gender wage gaps (unequal pay for equal work) following episodes of structural shocks in the labor markets, using several decades of individual data for a wide selection of transition countries. We find that for cohorts who entered the labor market after the onset of transition. Labor market shocks lead to significant declines in the gender wage gap. This decrease is driven mostly by episodes experienced among cohorts who enter the labor market during the transition. By contrast, we fail to find any significant relation for cohorts already active in the labor market at the time of transition. We provide plausible explanations based on sociological and economic theories of inequality.

机会来袭时:关于性别工资不平等动态的理论和经验

我们提供的经验证据表明,巨大的结构性冲击之后是劳动力市场不平等的变化。具体而言,我们使用几十年来针对各种转型国家的个人数据,研究了劳动力市场发生结构性冲击之后,调整后的性别工资差距(同工同酬不平等)的短期波动。我们发现,对于那些在过渡开始后进入劳动力市场的人来说。劳动力市场的冲击导致性别工资差距显着下降。减少的主要原因是过渡时期进入劳动力市场的同龄人经历的发作。相比之下,对于过渡时期已经活跃于劳动力市场的同类,我们没有发现任何重要的关系。
