  • Gender pay gap in Slovenia : empirical analysis of microdata = Plačna vrzel med spoloma v Sloveniji : empirična analiza na mikropodatkih : doktorska disertacija
    Poje, Andreja
    The PhD thesis contributes to the missing analyses of the gender wage gap at the level of occupations and jobs in the Slovenian public sector. It explains the causes of the gender wage gap and sheds ... light on the key mechanisms generating and perpetuating it within the context of the public sector wage system. The analyses focus on three selected occupations: the female-dominated occupation of nurses, the male-dominated occupation of police officers, and the more gender-neutral occupation of higher education teachers. The thesis answers the fundamental research question using an explanatory, two-phase mixed-methods design and employing quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative analyses comprise four complementary analyses based on panel data for nurses and police officers. Obtaining wage data posed a significant challenge, and regrettably, obtaining wage data for higher education teachers was impossible. Various regression analyses were utilised to identify gender wage gaps at different levels and in individual wage components. Additionally, unconditional quantile regression was employed to analyse gender wage gaps across the wage distribution. A descriptive thematic analysis of data from semi-structured interviews with 36 employees from three selected occupations, a representative of the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs, and Equal Opportunities, and seven negotiators of collective agreements and the public sector wage system offered insight into the causes of the gender pay gap at the job level. The results of the regression analyses confirm smaller gender wage gaps among nurses and larger ones among police officers, but these gaps differ by job and across the wage distribution within both occupations. The analyses also confirm significant gender differences in various add-ons and performance bonuses. Qualitative analysis reveals that the factors influencing the gender pay gap are closely interconnected and interlinked. The primary cause of the gender wage gap is promotions and the speed of promotions, which, for nurses and police officers, rely on supervisor assessments perceived by most interviewees as subjective and biased. Criteria are deemed non-gender-neutral and non-transparent, allowing for the particularism of supervisors. Conversely, most higher education teachers posit that the pace of vertical promotions and absences due to family commitments are pivotal in creating gender wage gaps within this occupation. For nurses and police officers, performance pay and add-ons for working conditions also hold significance. One of the most important findings of the thesis is that pay opacity is a major barrier to identifying and closing the gender wage gap. Additionally, the analysis underscores the influence of organisational dynamics, gender roles, and parenthood in sustaining segregation, discrimination, and gender inequality. The PhD thesis offers comprehensive and substantial new data on gender wage gaps at the job level and across various wage elements within selected occupations. As the first comprehensive study to investigate the gender wage gap in Slovenia, its findings constitute a pivotal empirical contribution and a significant advancement in the fields of science and sociology. Moreover, these findings hold the potential for significant social and political implications.
