Item Restricted Wage gap in the Philippines: the nonparametric and semi-parametric approach(2007-10) Calingao, Abigail T.; Garobo, Rubyruth Marie R.; Carlos, FidelinaThe paper examines the variabilities in the wage gap between males and females during the years 2004 to 2006 in the Philippines. It also looks at both the returns to education and returns to experience and their effects on the wage structure. The study employs two methodological approaches namely, the nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches. The non-parametric approach is utilized to measure the inequality between males and females. On the other hand, the semiparametric approach is used to look at the returns to schooling and experience through the quantile regression method. The results show that the wage gap between males and females decreased from 2004 to 2006. The reason is that the rate of returns in both schooling and experience is lower in males than in females. Particularly, the go/to percentile ratio has decreased.
