About

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) report published in November 2007 examines welfare disparities between men and women through three lenses:segregation, discrimination, and inequality. Segregation captures occupational segregation by gender, discrimination measures the earning differential between males and females within occupations. The inequality component shows the inequality in earnings within male and female groups. The study proposes a new approach to adjusted earnings by including a host of personal and job characteristics such as hours of work, education, work experience, race, regions and areas. The paper captures the net effect of each of these individual characteristics on segregation, discrimination, and inequality in earnings between male and female workers. The proposed methodologies are applied to Thailand and Vietnam. Asian Development Bank.(2007). Occupational Segregation and Gender Discrimination in Labour Markets: Thailand and Vietnam. From http://www.adb.org/publications/occupational-segregation-and-gender-discrimination-labor-markets-thailand-and-viet-nam.
