Supplementary notes

The gender wage gap is measured as the difference between median wages of men and women divided by the median wages of men.

This dataset contains three earnings-dispersion measures - ratio of 9th-to-1st, 9th-to-5th and 5th-to-1st - where ninth, fifth (or median) and first deciles are upper-earnings decile limits of gross earnings of full-time dependent employees, excluding overtime earnings and annual special cash earnings.
