A total of 1,274 head of households were selected for the analysis in this article. More specifically, the study focuses on gender wage differencials according to job categories, namely, skilled workers, semi-skilled workers and unskilled workers. The study involved two main models, namely, multinomial logit model and wage model. Besides that, the decomposition equation is also applied to determine the percentage contribution of the variables towards gender wage differentials. The results show that the percentage contribution of variables included in the wage model, also refered to as explained factor, has less contribution than the unexplained factor, refered to as employer\u2019s discrimination. Apart from this, the percentage contribution of sample bias relating to employer\u2019s discrimination in hiring females is quite large. Based on these findings, the government should be stern in the implemention of Wage Equality Law, which is embedded in Labour Act. For the employers, they should be more transparent in hiring workers, i.e. based on merit and not gender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[948,949,950,951,952],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-jem","post-5213","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-employers-discrimination","tag-gender-wage-differentials","tag-semi-skilled-workers","tag-skilled-workers","tag-unskilled-workers","article-type-normal-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5221,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5213\/revisions\/5221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5213"},{"taxonomy":"jel-code","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jel-code?post=5213"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=5213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
