Abstract
This paper explores the gender based
differences in labor market
returns in Indian manufacturing
sector during 2004 or 05 –
2011 or 12 and finds that the female
to male wage ratio improved significantly
for the blue-collar
workers majorly in rural areas.
The reason had been a major
sectoral change among female
blue-collar workers in rural areas.
A sharp increase in the share
of employment in wearing apparels
industries and a decline in the
share of tobacco industries led to
a high rise in share of workers in
regular monthly salary system
and a decline in share of workers
in piece-rate payment system
among rural female blue-collar
workers. Methodologies used
here are Neumark decomposition
analysis, Logit and Ordered Logit
regressions.
