Abstract
This study examines the relationship between occupational feminization and wages in Thailand using the Thailand Labor Force Survey data (LFS) (2008-2017). Employing the Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting (AIPW) and the Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment (IPWRA) double robust matching techniques, this study investigates the effects of occupational feminization and the interaction effect of occupational feminization and gender on wages. The findings indicate that occupational feminization decreased wages in Thailand, and the negative effect weakened over time. While the gender wage gap persisted in feminized occupations over the years, there was a reduction in the gender wage gap in non-feminized occupations. The wage gap between females in feminized occupations and males in non-feminized occupations decreased over time, even though it remained larger than the overall gender wage gap. Male workers continued to take advantage and ride the “glass escalator” in both feminized and non-feminized occupations.
