Wage Differentials : An International Comparison

Using Japan as the target comparative country, ten papers examine earnings inequality and wage differentials from an international perspective and from the point of view of different occupations. Common statistical frameworks and methods are used throughout to examine occupational wage differentials in Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Canada, Australia, Britain, Germany, and France. The final chapter uses significantly different methods to examine Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and India. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
