Abstract

English

In most economies males earn higher wages than females. The question is whether this wage gap is due to discrimination or not. The dominant approach is the human capital theory by Becker and Mincer. It means that workers invest in their human capital because it reflects productivity and justifies higher wages. In this article different methods for measuring segregation and discrimination are described and compared.
Keywords: discrimination; segregation; regression
