ECON 0430 - Women In The Labor Market

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Economics

Description:

The empirical evidence suggests that women earn lower income than men, and that the wage rates earned by women are lower than those of men -- even when they have similar job classifications. This course examines the role of women in the labor market: the nature of their decision to invest in education, their labor force participation, and the demand for their labor services. In this way, a framework for policy analysis is developed.
