Abstract

[eng] Do Unions have a Different Effect on Male and Female Wages? . In this article, we investigate unions’ effect on female wages and gender wage gap, in the light of theoretical and empirical economic literature. Unions may have an impact on the gender wage gap on the one hand, if union wage premiums depend on gender, everything else equal, and on the other hand, if male and female workers are differently allocated in activities or industries with large union wage premiums. Empirical studies find that union wage premiums are higher for women. However, unions’ wage effect is higher in activities that are predominantly male. [fre] Les syndicats ont-ils un effet différencié sur les salaires des hommes et des femmes? . Cet article propose un survol de la littérature théorique et empirique relative à l’effet des syndicats sur les salaires des femmes et l’écart salarial entre les genres. La couverture syndicale peut avoir un effet sur l’écart de salaire entre les hommes et les femmes si d’une part, les primes syndicales diffèrent selon le genre des salariés, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, et si, d’autre part, les hommes et les femmes sont inégalement répartis dans les activités où les primes syndicales sont les plus élevées. Les travaux empiriques montrent que les primes syndicales sont plus élevées pour les femmes. Toutefois, l’effet salarial des syndicats est plus important dans les emplois où les femmes sont moins concentrées.
