ORIGINAL FRENCH ARTICLE: Discrimination. un « risque d’interruption de carrière »...
Discrimination due to “risk of career break”
Translated Saturday 21 August 2010, by and reviewed by Helen Robertshaw
Carried out by Dominique Meurs and Ariane Pailhé of INED [1], and Sophie Pontieux of INSEE [2], the study published by OFCE [3] focuses on women in the 39-49 age category. It shows that “men earn on average 17% more than women who haven’t interrupted their career for family reasons”.
Only 30% of this gap can be explained by “differences in observable characteristics” (less part-time work among men, who occupy higher-ranking positions, in better-paid sectors). And 70% is due to the behaviour of employers who penalise the mere “risk of a career break”.
