Other Publications, Studies 75 Pekka Laine

The wage study funded by the City of Helsinki examined the wage structure of the city’s monthly salaried employees, with a particular focus on whether wage discrimination based on gender exists in municipal pay.

The motivation for the study was the city’s aim to develop its personnel policy and to promote equality between women and men. The dataset consisted of the City of Helsinki’s full-time personnel in 1997, excluding employees covered by hourly wage agreements, staff of Helsinki Energy, and teachers.

The study is exploratory in nature and was carried out at the Labour Institute for Economic Research and the Department of Economics at the University of Turku. (AI translation)
