Title: Female Managers and their Wages in Central Europe

Author(s): Stepan Jurajda and Teodora Paligorova

Publication Date: October 2006

Keyword(s): gender pay gap and managers

Programme Area(s): Labour Economics

Abstract: This paper examines the gender gaps in employment and wages among top- and lower-level managerial employees in a recent sample of Czech firms. Unlike the existing analyses of managerial gender pay gaps, we acknowledge the adverse consequences of the low and uneven representation of women for the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition and offer an alternative set of results based on a matching procedure. Only 7% of top-level Czech managers are women and their wages are about 20 percent lower even when compared only to their comparable male colleagues.
