Abstract
- This paper analyzes the effect of gender segregation across major among youth college graduates on the change in gender wage gap. As a result of the JMP decomposition, the gender segregation across major was eased in four-year colleges, but the effect was not sufficient to affect the gender wage gap. On the other hand, the relative compensation for the engineering field, which is a male-dominated major, has increased significantly, resulting in an effect of increasing the gender wage gap. In addition, the relative compensation for engineering increased significantly as the university ranked higher. This suggests that the increase in relative compensation, which mainly appeared in the high-skilled engineering field, had the effect of increasing the gender wage gap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
