| Summary: | Discrimination expresses any distinction, exclusion,
restriction, preference or different treatment that disadvantages a person
or group, in comparison with others in similar situations. The crowding
out effect was first formulated by Bergmann (1974) and explains that an
individual can obtain lower returns if he belongs to a branch dominated
by the members of another group. The difference in pay between women
and men is also reinforced by the segregation in the labor market, which
may explain the crowding out effect.
In this article we analyzed the level of segregation in the Romanian
labor market starting from the workers professional status and their
distribution by branch from 2003 to 2008. Crowding out effect was
analyzed based on the gain function of the two groups (women and men). |
