Can Economic Theory Explain Occupational Pay Diversity
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 6 page paper responds to two general questions: Why do occupations that are more vital to the society paid so little, e.g., nursing, while occupations that are not as vital, such as financial advisors, paid so much more? Does economic theory explain this type of disparity in wages? The answer to the first question must look to reports and articles addressing the wage/salary disparity between men and women because the answer has to do with gender-based jobs. The answer to the second question is: Economic theory cannot explain this difference. In fact, the writer explains this situation defies economic theory. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
