1. Being a woman in an ICT job: an analysis of the gender pay gap and discrimination in Spain

   Mónica Segovia-Pérez, Rosa Belén Castro Núñez, Rosa Santero Sánchez, et al. · 2019 · New Technology, Work and Employment · 55 cites

   "Despite policy initiatives aimed at promoting female access to jobs, the information and communication technology (ICT) professions have traditionally been largely monopolised by men. Segregation, gendered stereotypes and environmental factors have a clear impact on educational and professional choices, as well as on working conditions. The spread of ICT to all economic activities has meant that ICT specialists are now to be found everywhere, not only in the ICT sector where many stereotypes related to technical jobs persist. This work aims to analyse the gender wage gap and discrimination in ICT professions, with the emphasis on how working in an ICT‐intensive industry might affect that si

2. Pursuing equal pay for equal work: Gender diversity in management positions and the gender pay gap throughout the wage distribution

   Rosa Santero-Sánchez, B. Núñez · 2022 · BRQ Business Research Quarterly · 18 cites

   Despite the massive incorporation of women into the labor market, equal pay for equal work remains a challenge. This article analyzes the influence of gender diversity in management positions on the gender wage gap (GWG) throughout the entire pay scale in Spain. The results show the existence of a GWG, particularly for wages below the average; though it decreases when female participation in management is higher. This is in line with the reduction of information asymmetry problems considered in statistical discrimination theories, which explain the barriers to promotion associated with dynamics at entry-level and low-qualified positions.

3. Influence of female managers on gender wage gap and returns to cognitive and non‐cognitive skills

   Jiří Balcar, Veronika Hedija · 2019 · Gender, Work & Organization · 17 cites

   There is a modest but growing empirical body of evidence on the influence of managers' gender on the wages of their male and female subordinates. Most of these studies, however, suffer from a very raw approximation of the managers' gender by the share of women in charge, and often lack many important gender‐specific personal characteristics, such as non‐cognitive skills and life–work preferences, which can lead to biased results. This article copes with the mentioned deficiencies by employing a very rich and representative dataset of 1948 employees from the Czech Republic. It reveals surprising results as it shows that the gender of the manager has an effect on the level of wages, but not on

4. Using occupational preference in estimating market wage discrimination : The case of the gender pay gap : Decomposition of a reduced form wage equation

   E. Solberg · 1999 · The American Journal of Economics and Sociology · 16 cites

   ABSTRACT Past occupational preference is used to estimate the gender pay gap. The use of predetermined variables in a reduced‐form wage equation avoids the bias caused by using variables that are correlated with the random error. Using a gender coefficient, the potential discriminatory gap is about 11.5 percent when past occupational preference is included. Decomposition yields an estimate of 10.5 percent when past occupational preference is included. In both cases, the discriminatory gap is close to that obtained when actual occupation is included. This suggests public policy directed toward reducing hiring discrimination by gender might be misdirected.

8. The Gender Pay Gap: A Persistent Socioeconomic Challenge

   Stacey L. Morin · 2025 · SocioEconomic Challenges · 4 cites

   The gender pay gap remains a persistent socioeconomic challenge that limits economic growth and social equity, despite ongoing policy and corporate interventions. This study aims to analyze the key determinants of gender-based wage disparities, examining the historical evolution, theoretical explanations, and the role of institutional, policy, and corporate frameworks in shaping wage inequalities. The research focuses on occupational segregation, discrimination, labor market structures, and intersectional disparities to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms sustaining wage differences between men and women. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study synthesizes existing
