Abstract
"Der Entgeltunterschied zwischen Frauen und Männern in Rheinland-Pfalz, die einer sozialversicherungspflichtigen Vollzeitbeschäftigung nachgehen, liegt bei 15,2 Prozent. Dieser geschlechtsspezifische Entgeltunterschied variiert innerhalb von Rheinland-Pfalz deutlich. In den kreisfreien Städten verdienen Frauen zwischen 8,3 Prozent (Neustadt an der Weinstraße) und 32,8 Prozent (Zweibrücken) weniger als die Männer. In den Landkreisen liegt der Gender Pay Gap zwischen 7,7 Prozent (Mainz-Bingen) und 29,9 Prozent (Germersheim). Vor allem in Kreisen, in denen das Verarbeitende Gewerbe dominiert, ist der Gender Pay Gap besonders hoch, ebenso in Kreisen, in denen vorwiegend Großbetriebe ansässig sind. In Kreisen mit einer jungen Altersstruktur ist der Gender Pay Gap dagegen vergleichsweise niedrig. Eine Oaxaca-Blinder-Zerlegung zeigt, dass vor allem die individuellen Merkmale einen Großteil der Höhe des Gender Pay Gap erklären. Die regionalen Faktoren, wie Wirtschafts- und Betriebsstruktur sowie die Altersstruktur in einer Region leisten kaum einen Beitrag zur Erklärung des Gender Pay Gap. Der Erklärungsbeitrag unterscheidet sich aber bei getrennter Betrachtung von Landkreisen und kreisfreien Städten: Insbesondere regionale Merkmale, wie Wirtschafts- und Altersstruktur wirken in den Landkreisen auf das Entgelt von Frauen positiver als auf das der Männer, was sich mindernd auf den geschlechtsspezifischen Entgeltunterschied auswirkt." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)
