The objective of this paper is to analyze the gender
earning gaps existing in urban areas of Pakistan using data from a household
survey. The earning functions have been estimated separately for males and
females using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) as well as quantile regressions
including education, literacy, experience, employment related variables such as
type of industry and occupation and age as explanatory variables. The earning
gaps between males and females have also been analyzed using the Blinder-Oaxaca
decomposition method. Results suggest higher mean earnings for males as
compared to females but higher incremental returns to investment in human
capital for females at all levels of education. Further, higher returns to
schooling have also been noted in bottom part of the income distribution i.e. 5^th&
25^th quantiles for workers of both sexes as compared to those
present in the top of the distribution i.e. 75^th& 95^th
quantiles at all educational levels. Education, industry of employment and
occupations has been emerged as the main determinants of income gap between
male and female workers in urban Pakistan.
