摘要
This paper investigates the earning function and the gender wage gap in Lebanon using human and social capital covariates. The study uses a randomly collected sample from the Lebanese working population in the greater Beirut area applying the counterfactual decomposition and the generalized quantile regressions. Most of the results support previous research which concludes that the human and social capital indicators have a significant impact on earnings and that the wage gap is mainly due to structural effect. Moreover, the results show evidence of quicksand and glass ceiling effects that limit female income.
