The wage differential between women and men persists in advanced economies despite the inflow of women into qualified occupations in recent years. Using five waves of the Swedish Level-of-Living Survey (LNU), this paper explores the gender wage gap in Sweden during the 1974-2010 period overall and by skill level. The empirical analyses showed that the general gender wage gap has been nearly unchanged for the past 30 years. However, the gender difference in wage in less qualified occupations fell considerably, whereas the gender pay gap remained stable for men and women in qualified occupations. The larger significance of family responsibilities for wages in qualified occupations is one likely explanation for this result.
尽管近年来女性涌入了合格职业，但在发达经济体中，男女之间的工资差距仍然存在。本文利用瑞典生活水平调查（LNU）的五期数据，探讨了 1974 年至 2010 年期间瑞典按技能水平划分的总体性别工资差距。实证分析表明，过去 30 年来，一般性别工资差距基本保持不变。然而，低技能职业的性别工资差距大幅缩小，而高技能职业的男性和女性的工资差距则保持稳定。在高技能职业中，家庭责任对工资的影响更大，这可能是造成这一结果的原因之一。
