Abstract

The demand side of the labor market contributes to the gender wage gap through the sorting of women into low-wage firms and through pay-setting behavior which leads some women to be paid less over their careers than their male co-workers. Policies that increase transparency and accountability in managerial decisions are effective in reducing unequal treatment. However, equally important are policies which remove the barriers to combining work with caring responsibilities.
