“…As in other decomposition studies, discrimination terms were reduced when more variables were added to wage equations (Blinder, 1973;Ogloblin, 1999). Again, rural migrants suffered more discrimination than urban migrants.…”

Here, gross wage gaps between migrant and local workers were broken down into two components: the gap attributable to differences in personal characteristics and the gap due to differences in returns to those personal characteristics.…”

Rural Migrants, Urban Migrants and Local Workers in Shanghai: Segmented or Competitive Labour Markets?

It has been documented widely that temporary migrants in Chinese cities are subject to labour market discrimination and urban labour markets are segmented across institutional barriers including the hukou system. Continued economic reform and policies, committed to more equal treatment of migrants and local dwellers, will generate greater competition between migrants and local workers. This article assesses whether the urban labour markets for migrants and local workers have remained segmented by examining the existence, and the extent, of wage discrimination against migrants. Our data, collected during recent fieldwork in Shanghai, revealed that migrants from rural and urban origins differed in their educational attainment and skills. We then compared wage patterns for rural migrants, urban migrants and local workers in Shanghai separately. These wage differentials reflected both market forces (rewards to differing productivity) and institutional factors (rewards to residence status or hukou), indicating that discrimination in the labour market still exists.

“…If hours of work are not controlled for, the use of monthly pay measures may result in a higher estimated gap than the use of hourly pay measures because women tend to work fewer hours than men in paid employment (Brainerd, ). As many as 13 observations are reported in terms of contractual rather than actual wages, which can introduce bias if wage arrears are present (Gerry et al ., ; Ogloblin, ).…”

The goal of this paper is to examine the patterns and movements of the gender pay gaps in the countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU) and to place them in the context of advanced economies. We survey over 30 publications and conduct a meta‐analysis of this literature. Gender pay gaps in the region are considerable and above the levels observed in advanced economies. Similar to advanced economies, industrial and occupational segregation widen the gaps in the FSU countries, whereas gender differences in educational attainment tend to shrink them. However, a much higher proportion of the gaps remains unexplained, pointing toward the role of unobserved gender differences related to actual and perceived productivity. Over the last 25 years, the gaps contracted in most FSU countries, primarily due to the reduction in the unexplained portion. Behind the contraction at the mean are different movements in the gap across the pay distribution. Although the glass‐ceiling effect has diminished in some FSU countries, it has persisted in others. We investigate the reasons underlying these findings and argue that the developments in the FSU region shed new light on our understanding of the gender pay gaps.
