内容简介:

Utilizing nationally representative panel data from the U.S. (422 occupations, 8,433 individuals, 18 years), this study explores the effect of employees’ educational attainments on gender wage inequality from a dynamic perspective. I treat education as a life-altering event that initiates a new wage trajectory by shaping the wage level and setting the pace of wage growth. Drawing on human capital theory and the framework of wage inequality processes (i.e., allocative inequality, valuative inequality, and within-job inequality), I argue that educational attainments lead to differential intraindividual changes in wage trajectories for men and women. I find that educational attainments are followed by an immediate increase in pay level and a greater wage growth rate for both women and men. After educational attainments, while women could attain a higher pay level by transferring to occupations that are considered to be more prestigious, they suffer from a slower rate of wage growth than men. I also find that the positive effect of holding prestigious jobs on wage growth is stronger when the occupations are more represented by men than women.
