Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad analizira utjecaj ljudskog kapitala na razlike u mirovinama između muškaraca i žena pomoću Blinder-Oaxaca dekompozicije koja je u radu detaljno opisana. Analiza se provodi za odabrane europske zemlje koje su podijeljene u klastere, a koriste se podaci prikupljeni u sklopu studije SHARE. Rezultati dekompozicije pokazuju da u većini slučajeva ljudski kapital nije značajan u objašnjavanju razlika u mirovinama, a kada jest, njegov utjecaj je malen. Isto tako, rezultati sugeriraju da muškarci ostvaruju manje povrate na višu razinu obrazovanja. Nadalje, razlike u godinama rada značajno objašnjavaju najveći dio razlika na svim područjima osim u klasteru zemalja sjeverne Europe, no i dalje više od polovice razlika ne može biti objašnjeno. U klasteru zemalja sjeverne Europe ne postoje značajne razlike u godinama rada između muškaraca i žena te su razlike u mirovinama na tom području najmanje, a niti jedna od varijabli u modelu ne objašnjava značajno razlike u mirovinama. Takvi rezultati upućuju da bi duža i intenzivnija uključenost žena na tržištu rada mogla biti ključna za rješavanje problema rodnog jaza u mirovinama.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyses the impact of human capital on the gender pension gap using the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, which is described in detail. The analysis is carried out for selected European countries that are divided into clusters, using data collected as part of the SHARE study. The results of the decomposition indicate that in most cases human capital is not significant in explaining the gender pension gap and when it is, it has small impact. The results also suggest that men get less pension returns on a higher level of education. Furthermore, differences in years of work significantly explain most of the gender pension gap in all areas except the Northern Europe cluster, but still more than half of the differences cannot be explained. In the Northern Europe cluster, there are no significant differences in working years between men and women, the gender pension gap in this area is the smallest, and none of the variables in the model significantly explain the pension gap. Such results suggest that a longer and more intensive involvement of women in the labour market could be key to addressing the gender pension gap.
