Hello Economists, I have some questions about the gender pay gap: 1) When economists state that occupation accounts for ~30% of the gender wage gap and industry accounts for another ~20% of the wage gap, what exactly are they measuring: differences between men’s and women’s occupations or differences between men and women within occupations? 2) Would you please explain the logic behind the occupational and industry estimates with a concrete example? 3) Since occupations are subsets of industries, is there double counting? How do you parse occupations and industry? 4) How do economists estimate the impact of occupation and industry variables on the wage gap? Thank you very much for your reply, Charles

very thorough explanation!

Beautiful......the subject of course and the teacher. One of your videos helped me in an exam from UoL. Thank you very much!
