Abstract
The study uses the 2006 to 2009 Labor Force Surveys (LFS) to estimate the wage structure and wage differentials between employed men and women in agriculture-based employment in the Philippines. Estimates reveal that average male wage workers in the agriculture sector receive remunerations that are approximately 13% to 18% higher than what the average female wage workers receive. Using the threefold Blinder-Oaxaca wage decomposition method, about 12% of the estimated gender wage gap is due to the endowment effect or the human capital effect, 74% is due to the coefficients effect and 14% can be attributed to the interaction effect.
