We inspect the heterogeneous association between tasks and wages across gendersusing individual-level data on U.S. workers. Ourfindings suggest that women receive ahigher wage premium when engaged in cognitive tasks and experience more containedwage losses when performing manual activities. However, a wage penalty characterizeswomen engaged in highly social intensive jobs. Further inspection reveals that thisresult is especially driven by the teamwork component of social activities.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
