SOME ASPECTS OF THE GENDER WAGE GAP IN SLOVENIA

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we analyze some aspects of the gender-based earnings disparities in Slovenia. With the data available we first compare some characteristics of women's employment in Slovenia, Croatia and some European countries: femaleness of occupations; women's average level of professional skill as a percentage of men's; and women's average earnings as a percentage of men's. In the second part of the paper the gender wage gap in Slovenia is analyzed. The results of our analysis pointed out that the percent of women employed and the ratio between women's and men's average professional skill in an occupation statistically significantly influence the ratio between women's and men's average earnings. The effect of variables in male-dominated occupations differs from their effect in female-dominated and integrated occupations.
