Abstract: Despite considerable progress in recent decades, labour markets globally remain divided along gender lines. This inequity manifests itself most evidently in the form of significant wage differentials. The question of gender in wage differentials and occupational segregation has been intensively discussed in the economic literature. The extant literature on the subject identifies two potential sources for wage differences; firstly, differences in human capital traits such as education, and secondly, segregation i.e. exclusion of minority groups (such as blacks, Arabs or women) from high paying occupations. Israeli labour market provides a relevant case for study of wage inequality.
Keywords: Understanding Gender differentials, Israeli labour market.
