“…This is consistent with previous findings that there is an earnings gap between male and female employees and that men are usually paid higher (Ferber, 1995;Moreno-Galbis & Wolff, 2008). However, the earnings effect of IT is negative, whereas that of Ed × IT is positive.…”

This article examines the economic effect of education in terms of its impact on the earnings of workers in an information technology (IT)-diffusing economy, based on data from Hong Kong's 2006 bycensus and survey on the usage and penetration of IT in industries. Education enhances the productivity of workers and increases their lifetime incomes. However, technological advances, if deskilling, may exert an adverse effect on workers' earnings. The analysis of the economic effect of education is complicated by the increasing application of technologies in the workplace. This study shows that the earnings effect of education and the interaction between education and IT penetration in the workplace are positive and significant, whereas IT by itself brings about a significant negative earnings effect.

“…Ed(other) in Models 1 and 2, and Wky and Gen(M) in all three models are significant at the 0.01 level. These results support the axiomatic view that work experience is a significant contributor to workers' earnings, and also that men are usually paid more than women (Becker, 1993;Ferber, 1995;Moreno-Galbis & Wolff, 2008).…”

The quality of Hong Kong's self-financing sub-degree education from an economic perspective

This paper examines the quality of Hong Kong's sub-degree level education provided by the self-financing institutes in terms of its impact on the earnings of workers, based on Hong Kong's 2006 by-census data. Education is an investment in human capital that enhances the productivity of workers and increases their lifetime incomes; and a more productive investment will produce a higher rate of return. The effects of education on workers' earnings can be regarded as a proxy for measuring the quality of education undertaken. This study shows that, as regards earnings, and therefore (indirectly) quality, the quality of sub-degree level education provided by some self-financing institutes is statistically significantly lower than that provided by publicly-funded institutes.

“…Researchers have taken up this call, by analyzing how class may be intersecting with gender in explaining the variation in cross-national gender gaps (Cooke 2011;Evertsson et al 2009;Kee 2006;Mandel and Shalev 2009;Mandel 2010;Moreno-Galbis and Wolff 2008). For example, using LIS, Mandel (2010) explores gender wage gaps for women in lower and higher educational and earnings groups across 21 advanced countries, showing that welfare state generosity increases the gender gap among advantaged workers, while mitigating the gender gap among disadvantaged workers.…”

Scholarship in sociology and economics has long explored the gender wage gap. Recent research suggests that these inequalities are indicative of important differences not only between men and women, but among women and men, ref lecting rising levels of income inequality among workers in the postindustrial era. We argue that the most interesting debates in the gender wage gap -those exploring differences among subgroups by class, race, and/or parenthood status (such as the motherhood wage penalty), as well as those considering differences across countries -can bring new insights to the study of wage inequality, as well as to understandings of what drives gendered wage inequality.
