- Abstract
- We verify the glass ceiling effect through separate quantile regression and the wage difference decomposition methods. We also study the gender wage gap after dividing the labor market into core and peripheral sectors considering structural labor market characteristics, such as firm size, employment type, and education level. According to empirical analysis, we find that the glass ceiling effect for irregular female workers with lower levels of education working in small and medium-sized companies is much stronger compared with those in other sectors under the multi-layered Korean labor market structure. This result implies that the glass ceiling effect is weak in the core sector, while in a peripheral sector, invisible gender discrimination increases as the wage quantile moves from lower to higher levels. Based upon these empirical results, we discuss a policy direction that deals simultaneously with the dual structure of the labor market and gender discrimination. J. Japanese Int.
