Abstract

In this paper we analyze some aspects of the gender-based
earnings disparities in Slovenia. With the data available we first
compare some characteristics of women's employment in
Slovenia, Croatia and some European countries: femaleness of
occupations; women's average level of professional skill as a
percentage of men's; and women's average earnings as a
percentage of men's. In the second part of the paper the
gender wage gap1 in Slovenia is analyzed. The results of our
analysis pointed out that the percent of women employed and
the ratio between women's and men's average professional skill
in an occupation statistically significantly influence the ratio
between women's and men's average earnings. The effect of
variables in male-dominated occupations differs from their
effect in female-dominated and integrated occupations.
