Abstract

Labour force participation of women has increased substantially during the last decades, but women?s wages are still on average lower than men?s. Following the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method (1973), numerous econometric studies show that part of the differential is determined by discrimination defined as? equal pay for equal work? But this part could be larger if the measure of discrimination were taking into account the multidimensional character of this process: for example the effect on earning and occupational distribution of discrimination stemming from school treatment of boys and girls or from occupational barriers. Why women would be discriminated? Interaction between household and market activities plays an important role within the sources of sexual discrimination. It affects women?s choices on the job market as well as employers? behaviours relative to women.
