Abstract

Après trois ans de vie active, on analyse ici les disparités de salaire entre les hommes et les femmes selon la catégorie professionnelle, le degré de mixité des professions et l'origine de cette mixité : ségrégation professionnelle d'origine éducative ou/et liée au marché du travail. Ces disparités sont évaluées en termes de discrimination salariale. Les femmes, relativement aux hommes, sont les moins mal rémunérées dans les professions masculines, mais ce faible retard salarial cache une importante part injustifiée au regard des caractéristiques individuelles que l'on observe, et de ce fait assimilable à de la discrimination (à caractéristiques égales, traitement différent). Dans les autres professions, la discrimination salariale accroît l'écart de salaire résultant des conditions d'emploi plus avantageuses pour les hommes. Par ailleurs, à degré de mixité donné, les professions dont la ségrégation est d'origine éducative sont porteuses de meilleurs niveaux de rémunération pour les femmes. Enfin, pour tous les groupes professionnels, la discrimination salariale à l'encontre des femmes relève plutôt de la situation professionnelle des individus que de leurs caractéristiques productives propres, comme l'éducation ou l'expérience professionnelle.
