Competitiveness and Business School

Wage gap and labour market experiences of women compared to men have always evoked interest among the economists. Reuben et al. (2017) documents a large gender gap in expected future earnings. Women on average, expect to earn 31% less than men at the age of 30 and 39% less at the age of 45. A number of reasons have been put forward by the literature in the past. Recent advances in literature show that gender differences in competitiveness could potentially lead to gender differences in wages and labour market experience. In this paper, we aim to understand what effect the 2-year PGP programme has on the competitiveness of students and more importantly, the gender differences in competitiveness.

Abstract:

Wage gap and labour market experiences of women compared to men have always evoked interest among the economists. Reuben et al. (2017) documents a large gender gap in expected future earnings. Women on average, expect to earn 31% less than men at the age of 30 and 39% less at the age of 45. A number of reasons have been put forward by the literature in the past. Recent advances in literature show that gender differences in competitiveness could potentially lead to gender differences in wages and labour market experience. In this paper, we aim to understand what effect the 2-year PGP programme has on the competitiveness of students and more importantly, the gender differences in competitiveness.
