Summary of main findings: General comparison across occupation groups

 In all three countries, innovation workers have

higher average wages than non-innovation workers

 This average wage gap, however, hides a lot of

variation across the wage distribution

 Countries differ both in terms of occupation wage-gap

profiles and major factors contributing to the wage gap

 Difficult, although interesting, question is what drives

country differences in results

Summary of main findings: Gender wage gap analysis

 The gender wage gap is, on average, slightly higher

among innovation than non-innovation workers

 Among non-innovation workers there is a tendency of

increasing gender wage gaps when moving up through the wage distribution; no clear-cut pattern among innovation workers

 Gender wage gaps are due to males and females being

differently rewarded for similar human capital endowments, not because of women having lower levels of basic human capital

 Again, what drives country differences in gender wage

gaps across occupation groups?
