Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition of the gender log wage gap in 2011, full-time workers
Table summary
This table displays the results of a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition of the gender log wage gap in 2011 for full-time workers. Two samples are considered: workers aged 17 to 64; and workers aged 25 to 54. The row headers describe the job and worker characteristics that can account for a portion of the gender log wage gap. The column headers identify the samples used (workers aged 17 to 64, workers aged 25 to 54) and the degree to which job and worker characteristics can account for the gender wage gap, either in absolute value or in percentage terms.
