(2010b). As well as looking at basic differences in pay, the research identifies the characteristics that explain those differences such as age, occupation and level of education. In the computer-assisted personal interviews, the interviewers gave the laptop to the respondents and sat opposite them to preclude having the opportunity to view the evaluations. 2, Chap. The theory of double standards focuses on these interactions between job-related characteristics, such as competence and performance, and gender (Foschi, 2000); empirical research by Jasso and Webster (1999) shows that these double standards exist in justice evaluations. Be sure that. In 1963 women earned 59 cents for every dollar a man earned. Health Econ. A drastic paradigm shift is necessary in order to change these social norms, and this is exactly what the Teachers Pension Plan is aiming for. The models for the different samples are provided in Table 7. Am. ^The theory is based on the research of Adams (1965), Homans (1974), Berger et al. It is likely that people change their attitudes when they leave the university and enter the labor market and unconsciously learn the new inequality structure and thereby change their referential structure. 84, 339349. Rev. Res. The figure shows the German original version and the English translation by the author. A. Distributive justice research distinguishes between reflexive and non-reflexive justice evaluations (Jasso, 2007). doi: 10.1177/0003122416683393. A subsequent experimental study, concerning a promotion to a time-intensive position with an online sample of parents, revealed that women reported lower aspirations for this type of promotion compared to men when the position was characterized as inflexible, but the gap disappeared when the position offered temporal flexibility. On the other hand, the tests between the student sample and population sample 1 (2 = 37.18;p < 0.001) as well as population sample 2 (2 = 49.61;p < 0.001) revealed significant differences. Figure 1. 30, 219232. When sociologists examine gender from this perspective, they typically classify men as the dominant group and women as the subordinate group. Conflict theorists would investigate how the interests of dominant groups create gender norms and roles, as well as how these roles help to sustain the status quo and strengthen social hierarchies. Understanding international differences in the gender pay gap. Bearing the limitations of this study in mind, the findings provide important insights for sociological justice research, as they show how inequalities influence the justice evaluations of people. The other coefficients and their interpretation are reported briefly as follows: the effect of a vignette person's age is negative and highly significant, meaning that older vignette persons were evaluated more often as under-rewarded than younger vignette subjects. Therefore, the findings presented above could reflect age or cohort as well as education effects. Dittrich, M., Knabe, A., and Leipold, K. (2014). First, all interviews in the SOEP-Pretest are programmed as computer-assisted personal interviews, in contrast to the paper and pencil questionnaires mostly used in the main survey. Moreover, student samples and general samples do not only differ by the structural conditions in which respondents are embedded. WebThe gender wage gap is unadjusted and is defines as the difference between median earning of men and women relative to median earnings of men. Eine Ursachenanalyse auf Grundlage der Verdienststrukturerhebung 2014, in Wirtschaft und Statistik 2/2017, 4362. The specification assumes comparisons as a central mechanism within justice evaluations. WebThe theoretical perspective that explains the issue of gender wage gap inequality is the conflict theory. Table 9. 15 Articles, This article is part of the Research Topic, https://www.destatis.de/DE/Methoden/WISTA-Wirtschaft-und-Statistik/2017/02/verdienstunterschiede-022017.pdf%3F__blob%3DpublicationFile%26v%3D3, https://www.wsi.de/data/wsi-gdp-entgelt-2019-06-11-01.pdf, https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/2691510, https://web.archive.org/web/20120203131554/http://www.statistik.rlp.de/wirtschaft/verdienste-und-arbeitskosten/einzelansicht/archive/2010/june/article/gender-pay-gapldquo-im-jahr-2009-verdienten-frauen-22-prozent-weniger-als-maumlnner/, https://www.statistik.rlp.de/fileadmin/dokumente/monatshefte/2010/Juni/06-2010-440.pdf, Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, Zeppelin University, Friedrichshafen, Germany. To detect gender biases in justice attitudes, it is necessary to first use a method that allows to find gender gaps. The data from the second population survey (population sample 2) were gathered in 2008 as part of a pretest of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; Schupp, 2009) via computer-assisted personal interviews. 7, 227244. Econ. Psychol. The university student survey (hereafter the student sample) was conducted during the summer term in 2008. The social sciences students are embedded in a structural context in which relevant resources are not (or less) correlated with gender, and therefore, gender is unlikely to become a status characteristic in their daily interactions. (2011). Liebig, S., and Sauer, C. (2016). Sociol. (2009). People who are embedded in a social structure that is highly gender unequal likely compare rewardees to generalized others (i.e., a typical female or male employee) that reproduce these inequalities. It would be not explainable enough for women to reject such help. Therefor, they will recruit enough women so no one can claim gender discrimination, but in the end, male is their preference. Sociol. While students are undoubtedly socialized in a gender-unequal society and gender inequalities also exist at universities, the gender bias based on daily experiences should at least be lower than in other subpopulations. Future research could delve deeper into gender differences by taking into account family structures, motherhood (England et al., 2016), and household responsibilities. The outcome variable in the following regression models is the z-standardized justice evaluation per vignette. One must bear in mind that students are not only embedded in the structural context university but are also affected by socially shared attitudes toward gender in other contexts of social life. As in the previous model, the effect of the gender dimension is negative, indicating rating behavior preferring male recipients. The unadjusted gender pay gap is defined as the difference of the average gross earnings of men and women divided by the average gross earnings of men. 45, 168193. These designs ensure that the influence of vignette dimensions and interaction terms are mutually uncorrelated. DIW Wochenbericht 87, 147152. Sociol. 2. Ganzeboom, H. B. G., and Treiman, D. J. Past and future applications of Jasso's justice theory. Multiple linear regression of justice evaluations of vignettes on vignette dimensions by age and education (all samples). Model 1 includes the structural variables of average gross earnings and gender pay gap per federal state. This reflects differing referential structures with higher referential earnings of observers from high-income federal states. WebIntro ( 0:55) To talk about why we have gender in the first place we need to go back to the three theories that sociology is built on: Structural-Functional Theory, Symbolic Interaction Theory, and Social Conflict Theory. In other words, the fact that gender is socially constructed does not undo the fact that there are strata of oppression between genders. Inequity and Social Exchange, ed L. Berkowitz (London, UK: Academic Press), 267299. Edited by Anita Badejo and Marc Georges. Amer. Men have the strain of supporting a family, which includes women and these men feel the need to express power to elude revealing any weaknesses. doi: 10.2307/2095476. Ethical review and approval was not required for the study on human participants in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements. The gender wage gap has narrowed over the years, but women still earned about 84 cents for every dollar that men earned in 2021, which is not statistically different from 2020. Die wirtschaftliche und soziale Lage der Studierenden in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2009. In the terminology of Berger et al. The objective of these pretests is to test new modules and modifications of questions. Evidence on the gender pay gap from multifactorial survey experiments. Conflict between the two groups caused things like the Womens Suffrage Movement and was responsible for social change. It has also been found that career-people of the STEM field with young children face more "work-family" conflict, as the demands of the rigorous STEM field and those of their young children overlap. Figure 2 shows the distributions of justice evaluations by dataset. Advances in experimental social psychology, in Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, Vol. The vignettes of the student sample and population sample 1 were additionally presented in random order for each respondent. The results show that the gender pay gap that observers experience influences their evaluations regarding the recipient's gender. WebThe Conflict Theory examines societal power structures and the unequal distribution of resources through the lens of this theoretical perspective. Figure 1 shows the long-run trends in the gender pay gap over the 1955-2014 period based on two To test the robustness of the results of the models presented above, Table 9 shows the pooled analysis of the differences between the student and the population samples with restricted samples. doi: 10.1111/ecin.12060, Dlmer, H. (2007). Thus, the referential structure of individuals in an unequal population is likely to have a gender bias favoring men. ^The combination of these factors addresses interactions between gender and other characteristics, e.g., experience or education. Soc. In 2021, female employees aged 25 to 54 earned $3.79 (11.1%) less per hour, on average, than their male counterparts. doi: 10.1016/j.rssm.2011.12.004, Markovsky, B. The gender gap pay is an analysis of the stratification of the intersection based on gender. Zeitschrift fr Soziologie 38, 350357. While it seems as though there may never come a day in which all people receive equal treatment by everyone they encounter, at the very least they should receive equality by their governing bodies and from their employers. Kuhfeld, W. F. (2005). Equation (4) was used to estimate the three models presented in Table 6. Berger, J., Zelditch, M., Anderson, B., and Cohen, B. However, the specification leaves exogenous the substantive content of the just reward function (Jasso, 1980). . University students' perceptions of gender discrimination in the workplace: reality versus fiction. Social sciences students are an example of a more gender-equal subpopulation. The gender pay gaps per federal state are provided by the Statistical Office of Rhineland-Palatinate (Schomaker, 2010a,b). The data of the population sample 1, the student sample etc. The questionnaires consisted of the factorial survey module and additional questions on attitudes (after the factorial survey module) and questions on the socio-demographic background of the parents and students' personal situation. Berlin: Bundesministerium fr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). Globally, the gender pay gap stands at 16 per cent, meaning women workers earn an average of 84 per cent of what men earn. When requesting a correction, please mention this item's handle: RePEc:eme:ijmpps:01437729910289710.See general information about how to correct material in RePEc.. For technical questions regarding this item, or Additionally, the study assumes that there are differences between people living in federal states with high and low gender inequality. WebConflict theory will always exist in the gender wage inequality as long as men believe that they are better than women. ^Due to the design, the correlations between the gender dimension and the omitted dimensions are very low, and the exclusion of other dimensions from the analysis does not affect the results. The sampling procedure followed two steps: after sampling the vignettes, they were allocated to different decks (Jasso, 2006) that were randomly assigned to questionnaires that the respondents had to complete. To investigate how structural differences shape justice perceptions, the following analyses focus on the two population samples. 5. This paper investigates the determinants of the gender pay gap among doctoral graduates in Germany. Q. Microeconometrics Using Stata, Vol. Due the end of week 7. Competition, Meritocracy, and Pay and Tenure Outcomes). Identify which perspectives use a macrolevel or a microlevel of analysis. The main differences are that respondents in general samples are on average older and less well educated. To learn about the content of these factors, theories that provide substantive predictions are useful. Further notes on the theory of distributive justice. Res. This week have examined three key social institutions: family, religion, and medicine. doi: 10.1016/j.ssresearch.2018.10.013. 46, 348352. Second, it is necessary to compare observers who are embedded in different inequality structures. doi: 10.1177/0049124105283121. In other words, women in this age group earned $0.89 for every dollar (1997). The findings indicate that actual inequalities between men and women influence the gender bias in justice evaluations. Jasso, G., and Webster, M. (1997). Therefore, they also experience gender inequalities in other contexts. I use data from one student sample and two random samples of the German population (the two population samples are independent of one another and differ in design and are therefore useful to demonstrate the robustness of the findings). Read the following thought experiment from Philippa Foot and then answers the questions that follow: "Let us consider [] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. 21, 106144. The only exception is the gender of the vignette persons, which was not important for students but crucial for the respondents in the two population samples. J. doi: 10.1037/bul0000135. However, their main arena of daily interactions in which status hierarchies emerge and spread is likely to be within the university with other students. Third, the respondents stated the level of injustice on a 100-point scale. Isserstedt, W., Middendorff, E., Kandulla, M., Borchert, L., and Leszczensky, M. (2010). Non-reflexive judgments are, therefore, well suited to investigate justice attitudes and unconscious gender bias in judgments [for a review of the research on non-reflexive justice attitudes using factorial surveys, see Liebig et al. doi: 10.1016/S0065-2601(08)60108-2, Adriaans, J, Sauer, C., and Wrohlich, K. (2020). This study focuses on the relevance and weight of gender in justice evaluations; thus, predictions about reward-relevant characteristics are required2. Models 3 and 4 show the coefficients for population sample 1. Stud. College Station, TX: StataCorp LP. Gender is a categorical difference between recipients. The interaction effect is significantly negative, meaning that the rating behavior of male and female students differed with respect to the gender of the vignette person. These vignette-based justice evaluations can be used to measure the independent impacts of the recipient's gender and other characteristics on the justice evaluations of observers. Observers (do not) produce a just gender pay gap with their ratings. Stata: Release 12. The income students obtain for their monthly expenses is on average equal for female and male students (Isserstedt et al., 2010). Rev. Res. Compared to white, non-Hispanic men, the pay gap for Black women was 38% and 46% for Latinas. Sociol. Male and female observers assigned higher just earnings to male recipients. WebCorrections. Conflict Theory and its implication on education. Sauer, C. (2014a). (2015)]. Sociol. WebFeminists argue that this erases the categories of gender altogether but does nothing to antagonize the power dynamics reified by gender. The gender gap in pay has remained relatively stable in the United States over the past 20 years or so. doi: 10.1177/0001699308090039, Jasso, G., and Rossi, P. H. (1977). However, following the work of Berger et al. The status value is not an intrinsic feature of a characteristic (in this case, gender) but attached to the characteristic by generally shared beliefs. To test how actual inequality influences evaluations in the general population samples, the average earnings of full-time employees and the actual gender pay gap in different federal states in Germany were attached to the survey data7. When sociologists examine gender from this perspective, they typically classify men as the dominant group Having men and women share equal footing on these boards will mitigate the concepts of superiority and inferiority., The effects of the pay gap are overwhelmingly negative. As these findings were replicated with two independent surveys, it is likely that these are reliable results. The gender pay gap in a federal state did not directly affect the justice evaluations. doi: 10.3200/JOEB.84.6.339-349, Sotan, K. E. (1981). Gender pay gap 20062018, in WSI GenderDatenPortal. In reflexive justice evaluations, people evaluate their own rewards (observer = recipient); in non-reflexive justice evaluations, people evaluate the rewards of others (observerrecipient). WebAccording to the Institute for Womens Policy Research (IWPR) analysis of the gender wage gap by occupation, despite progress since the 1970s, the median wage for women employed full time in 2010 was only 81% male full time worker, a gap of 19%. We place gender specific roles on male and female because our long history of men dominating cant be easily replaced. Sociol. This study investigates the gender bias in justice evaluations by linking it to the inequality structure in which people are embedded. Sex on the Brain: Humans, like other mammals, exhibit sex differences in their brains and psychological traits. But what do they signify? Sociol. Again, the rating pattern was similar for male and female respondents (2 = 0.52;p = 0.472). Many articles provide discussions on different aspects of the theory [see Jasso (1978, 1980, 1981, 1986); Sotan (1981); Markovsky (1985); Whitmeyer (2004)]. The interaction effect in Model 4 is insignificant, meaning that male and female respondents both produced to the same extent a just gender pay gap favoring male recipients in their evaluations. 3 In 2022, Black women earned 70% as much as White men and Hispanic women earned only 65% as much. Cameron, A. C., and Trivedi, P. K. (2009). Moreover, the student sample used in this study revealed no gender differences in study success (meanm = 1.26; meanf = 1.15; T = 1.27; p = 0.20; nm = 697;nf = 998) measured via self-assessment on an eleven-point rating scale (5 to +5). Respondents living in federal states with high actual gender pay gaps produced a larger bias favoring men. On, many occasions, women are paid lower wages, even if the task is done the same as that of men. Moreover, the comparisons between different subpopulations are based on cross-sectional data. Am. Distributive justice and CEO compensation. Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, Germany. Sci. Available online at: https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/2691510 (accessed June 25, 2019). It is only through the breaking of these gender roles and conventions - from both men being willing to defer to the wills of women and women having the strength of deviate from their given roles and demanding better treatment, that these toxic definitions of masculinity and femininity can be, Once women began entering the working world an issue arose from the gender based wages. Jasso, G. (1978). WebThe gender wage gap is the difference in men and womens annual salaries and can be found in every kind of job at all times. (1996). Therefore, their approach is normative in that it prescribes changes to the power structure, advocating a balance of power between genders. Young women are more likely to be enrolled in college today than young men, and among those ages 25 and older, women are more likely than men to have a four-year college degree. Psychol. Am. The interaction effect eliminates the main effect of gender, meaning that gender is a relevant characteristic for young people or people with higher secondary education who are not students but has no impact on judgments when respondents are students. Cary, NC: SAS-Institute. More information on the analysis of the gender pay gap can be found in the publication: The gender wage gap in Canada: 1998 to 2018.
