This paper examines the gender labor market inequality by focusing on changes in the male and female earnings gap in Mongolia, a resource-rich transition country. Economic growth has accelerated based on a boom in the mining sector since the mid-2000s. However, the gender wage gap has widened substantially over the past decade. We use published data from the labor force surveys in 2008 and 2018 to investigate gender wage gaps among full-time workers at the mean and across the entire distribution. We find strong evidence of the glass ceiling, but without a sticky floor. Sectoral gender segregation and work–family reconciliation policies may be the leading causes of the glass ceiling.

蒙古的性别工资差距：部门隔离是一个驱动因素

本文通过关注资源丰富的转型国家蒙古男性和女性收入差距的变化来研究性别劳动力市场的不平等。自 2000 年代中期以来，采矿业蓬勃发展，经济增长加速。然而，性别工资差距在过去十年中大幅扩大。我们使用 2008 年和 2018 年劳动力调查公布的数据来调查全职员工在平均分布和整个分布中的性别工资差距。我们找到了玻璃天花板的有力证据，但没有粘地板。部门性别隔离和工作家庭协调政策可能是玻璃天花板的主要原因。
