Data from 70 large export-oriented garment manufacturers in Bangladesh show that women’s wages are 20 percent lower than men’s and are 8 percent lower even among narrowly-defined production workers. A significant gap remains even after controlling for very precisely measured skills. Longer careers of men in the sector explain around half of the wage gap, with the other half due in roughly equal parts to differences in internal and across-factory promotion rates. Our results are most consistent with broader gender norms, beyond gendered household responsibilities, driving the gap.

性别工资差距和工人流动性：来自孟加拉国服装行业的证据

孟加拉国 70 家大型出口型服装制造商的数据显示，女性的工资比男性低 20%，即使在狭义的生产工人中也低 8%。即使在控制了非常精确测量的技能之后，仍然存在显着差距。男性在该行业的较长职业生涯解释了大约一半的工资差距，而另一半则大致相同的部分是由于内部和跨工厂晋升率的差异。我们的结果与更广泛的性别规范最为一致，超越了性别化的家庭责任，推动了这一差距。
