  • The gender pay gap at the early stages of academic careers

    Open AccessIga Magda, Jacek Bieliński et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic Inequality2025References: 6

    The number of countries that have devoted time and attention to establishing gender equality regulations in academia is increasing. However, various studies indicate that women remain underrepresented among tenured faculty and in senior positions, and that female academic staff earn less than male ones. The reasons for these gaps, in particular those specific to academia, remain unclear. This article analyzes Polish female and male PhD graduates …

  • Gender pay gaps across STEM fields of study

    Open AccessTomasz Zając, Iga Magda et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2025Cited by: 1References: 38

    Gender pay gaps in earnings are well-documented in the literature. However, new factors contributing to women’s lower earnings have emerged and remain under-researched. Educational choices are among them. We use a rich administrative dataset from Poland, a Central Eastern European country with high tertiary education enrolment and high female employment rates among young women, to study gender pay gaps among tertiary education graduates with degr…

  • What if She Earns More? Gender Norms, Income Inequality, and the Division of Housework

    Open AccessIga Magda, Ewa Cukrowska-Torzewska et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family and Economic…2024

    We examine the relationship between female contribution to household income and the division of housework between the partners, while accounting for their attitutes towards gender roles. We use data from the “Generation and Gender Survey” for Poland: a country where both employment rates of women and their involvement in housework are high, men and women work long hours, and labour market regulation and policies are unsupportive of work− family b…

  • Labour market gender gaps and childcare policies in countries with different social investment strategies

    Open AccessAgnieszka Chłoń-Domińczak, Irena E Kotowska et al.ARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2024Cited by: 1References: 33

    We study the role of formal and informal childcare within the ECEC policies for gender employment and pay gaps, considering the life course stages distinctive for childcare tasks. The ECEC policies are framed within the types of social investment strategies identified in the EU countries to picture developments in social investments after 2005. The aggregated EU‐SILC data from 2005 to 2019 for 27 European countries have been used in the panel reg…

  • Gender pay gaps in domestic and foreign-owned firms

    Open AccessIga Magda, Katarzyna SałachARTICLEEmpirical Economics2021

    We investigate differences in gender wage gaps between foreign-owned and domestically owned firms in Poland, a country that has experienced large FDI inflows over the past three decades. We show that the adjusted gender wage gaps are larger among employees working in the foreign-owned sector than in the domestic sector. The gender pay gaps are found to be larger in the foreign-owned companies than in the domestically owned firms at every decile o…

  • The Gender Dimension of Occupational Exposure to Contagion in Europe

    Piotr Lewandowski, Katarzyna Lipowska et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics2021Cited by: 3References: 2

    This study examines the gender dimension of occupational exposure to contagious diseases spread by the respiratory or close-contact route. It shows that in Europe, women are more exposed to contagion, as they are more likely than men to work in occupations that require high levels of contact and physical proximity at work. Women are also less likely to be able to work remotely, which contributes to their increased exposure. The study finds that g…

  • Do Women Managers Lower Gender Pay Gaps? Evidence from Public and Private Firms

    Iga Magda, Ewa Cukrowska-TorzewskaARTICLEFeminist Economics2019References: 14

    This paper analyzes the link between the share of women managers and the size of the firm-level gender pay gap, looking separately at the private and public sectors. Using a large linked employer–employee dataset for Poland and nonparametric and parametric decompositions, the study finds that a greater share of women managers is associated with an increased advantage for women in selected types of public-sector units: the ones in which remunerati…

  • Skills mismatch in the new and old member states – are generations affected differently

    Open AccessAgnieszka Chłoń-Domińczak, Iga Magda et al.ARTICLEFilosofija. Sociologija2017

    In the paper we investigate differences in the skills mismatch in the new and old EU member states. We look at the influence of their different socio-economic characteristics, in particular age and educational attainment, on the level of skills mismatch and link these to the patterns of economic development, in particular the economic transition in Central and Eastern Europe. The results of our analysis show that workers in the NMS compared to th…

  • Collective Agreements, Wages, and Firms' Cohorts

    Open AccessIga Magda, David Marsden et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2012References: 42

    Using a large, matched employer-employee data set, the authors investigate the impact of company and industry collective bargaining agreements on wages in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland (CE3). They also examine the changing characteristics of the union wage premium in different cohorts of establishments. Their results challenge the common idea of weak unions in the CE3 by revealing a union wage premium whose characteristics depend on the…
