Gender in the labor market
Gender in the labor market[electronic resource] /edited by Solomon W. Polachek, Konstantinos Tatsiramos, Klaus F. Zimmermann. - 1st ed. - Bingley, U.K. :Emerald Group Publishing,2015. - 1 online resource (xii, 306 p.) :ill. - Research in labor economics,v. 420147-9121 ;. - Research in labor economics ;v. 19..

Gender and dynamic agency : theory and evidence on the compensation of top executives / Stefania Albanesi, Claudia Olivetti, María José Prados -- Gender differences in risk preferences : an empirical study using attitudinal and behavioral specifications of risk aversion / Jyoti Rai, Jean Kimmel -- Childcare reform : effects on earnings and employment among native Swedish and immigrant mothers / Magnus Wikström, Elena Kotyrlo, Niklas Hanes -- Intra-household resource allocation and gender bias in Iran / Ebrahim Azimi -- Why has the college gender gap expanded? / Sarah Kroeger -- The gender gap in starting salaries for new college graduates / Robert J. Thornton, Judith A. McDonald -- Wage growth and job mobility in the early career : testing a statistical discrimination model of the gender wage gap / Philippe Belley, Nathalie Havet, Guy Lacroix -- Selection into occupations and the intergenerational mobility of daughters and sons / Julia M. Schwenkenberg.

Although converging somewhat, men are still economically more successful than women. These stark economic differences prevail in the United States and in virtually all countries throughout the world. This volume contains a number of important new articles analyzing reasons for continuing gender discrepancies in wellbeing. To get at these incongruities, the volume analyzes a number of key questions including: Do men seek greater financial risk than women? Do men really bargain better, and under what circumstances? Why are women rapidly closing the college enrollment gap, but not the wage gap? How do educational choices affect men's and women's starting salaries? What are the chances of women attaining the same occupational status as men? And, how does intergenerational socioeconomic mobility differ between sons and daughters? The answers will not only further our understanding of resource distribution, but will also inform the policy debate on where within society one finds discriminatory practices and where one does not.
