Gender Wage Gap and Discrimination in the Czech Republic
Original language description
This book gives an overview of the existing theories and empirical evidence on factors determining the labour market differences and discrimination by gender. Besides we contribute with our own research, in which we particularly concentrate on the relationship between social and gender identity norms, preferences, and gender wage gap. We also focus on the role of soft skills, personality characteristics and workplace practices in explaining gender wage gaps. For our research we use either special surveydata or linked employer-employee data. Regarding the first type of data, a survey was conducted on representative sample of employees in the Czech Republic in 2011 based on the questionnaire, which we constructed to cover various aspects of work and family life, preferences, personality traits and other characteristics of employees and their jobs. Data from the unique survey helped us to shed some light on the factors explaining an existing gender wage gap.
