Dekompozycja nierówności wynagrodzeń kobiet i mężczyzn z konstrukcją rozkładu kontrfaktycznego za pomocą funkcji hazardu
Decomposition of gender pay gap by means of counterfactual distribution construction using hazard functions

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to decompose the gender pay gap in Poland along its distribution, based on the European Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) in 2014. The possibility of estimating conditional cumulative distribution function using a flexible hazards models with independent variables was applied in the analysis. The used method allowed to explain the structure of income inequalities between men and women and to infer the influence of individual person's characteristics on the observed differences. It was recognised that the increase in gender inequalities was accompanied by the income growth. The size and share of the unexplained by the model part grew with the amount of income, while the elucidated one was characterised by negative values. It proves that women share characteristics that are more preferred by employers.
