Labor immobility and the formation of gender wage gaps in local markets.
A study was conducted to assess the relationship between urban size, reflecting labor market size, and male-female wage differentials by examining whether family ties have an important effect on the wage gap. The findings reveal that urban size has a positive effect on wages, that the size of the e...

The findings reveal that urban size has a positive effect on wages, that the size of the effect differs by gender and marital status, and that the greatest impact is apparent in wages of married women. Specifically, it is found that the wage gap between married men and women narrows with urban size: Approximately 17 percent of the wage gap between married men and women can be explained by urban size or, more fundamentally, by geographic immobility due to the constraint of family ties. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
