摘要：This paper estimates an earnings function for Sri Lanka, followed by a decomposition analysis
of male-female earnings suggest that the gender disparity in earnings largely represents
‘discrimination’ against women. The findings showed that irrespective of their “inferior” labour
market attributes, men had average earnings that were considerably higher than the female
average and that this could be attributed entirely to discrimination in favour of male earners
