Building on recent analyses that find a sizeable overall gender wage gap in Azerbaijan’s workforce, this paper uses a unique database on young people in their early years in the labor market to understand how gender wage gaps evolve over time. New labor market entrants begin with little or no gender differences in earnings, but a wage gap gradually emerges over time closer to the childbearing years, also after controlling for sample selection bias.

Abstract

Building on recent analyses that find a sizeable overall gender wage gap in Azerbaijan’s workforce, this paper uses a unique database on young people in their early years in the labor market to understand how gender wage gaps evolve over time. New labor market entrants begin with little or no gender differences in earnings, but a wage gap gradually emerges over time closer to the childbearing years, also after controlling for sample selection bias. When decomposing the gap at different deciles of the wage distribution, it appears that most of it is at the lower and upper end.
