“…However, some forms of wage discrimination persist. Notably, in France, discrimination is experienced by gender (Meurs and Ponthieux, 2000), trade union representative status (Breda, 2014) and national origin (Aeberhardt et al, 2010).…”

“…The average wage gap is around 27% in favor of men, (e.g., Meurs and Ponthieux, 2000). However, empirical studies on French data find that a large part of the gender wage gap is explained by the fact that women are overrepresented in part-time jobs (e.g., Meurs and Ponthieux, 2000;Le Minez and Roux, 2002), they are more likely to interrupt their careers and have longer career interruptions than men (e.g., Meurs and Ponthieux, 2000), they receive fewer promotions during their careers (e.g., Le Minez and Roux, 2002), and on average, female positions are less productive than men's ones (e.g., Crepon et al, 2003). The residual gap -considered as wage discrimination -appears marginal, on the order of 3% or 4%.…”

“…There have been many studies on the measurement and analysis of the income gap between men and women in the field of labour economics [5,6], and these studies always show an income gap in favour of men regardless of country [7,8], business sector [8,9], status (self-employed or salaried) [10] and executive or non-executive status [11]. In the context of health, the first studies that analysed the income gap between male and female physicians were conducted in the United States during the 1970s [12,13].…”

What determines the income gap between French male and female GPs - the role of medical practices

BackgroundIn many OECD countries, the gender differences in physicians’ pay favour male doctors. Due to the feminisation of the doctor profession, it is essential to measure this income gap in the French context of Fee-for-service payment (FFS) and then to precisely identify its determinants. The objective of this study is to measure and analyse the 2008 income gap between males and females general practitioners (GPs). This paper focuses on the role of gender medical practices differentials among GPs working in private practice in the southwest region of France.MethodsUsing data from 339 private-practice GPs, we measured an average gender income gap of approximately 26% in favour of men. Using the decomposition method, we examined the factors that could explain gender disparities in income.ResultsThe analysis showed that 73% of the income gap can be explained by the average differences in doctors’ characteristics; for example, 61% of the gender income gap is explained by the gender differences in workload, i.e., number of consultations and visits, which is on average significantly lower for female GPs than for male GPs. Furthermore, the decomposition method allowed us to highlight the differences in the marginal returns of doctors’ characteristics and variables contributing to income, such as GP workload; we found that female GPs have a higher marginal return in terms of earnings when performing an additional medical service.ConclusionsThe findings of this study help to understand the determinants of the income gap between male and female GPs. Even though workload is clearly an essential determinant of income, FFS does not reduce the gender income gap, and there is an imperfect relationship between the provision of medical services and income. In the context of feminisation, it appears that female GPs receive a lower income but attain higher marginal returns when performing an additional consultation.
