Abstract
This paper first provides a brief survey of research on the gender wage gap in Ireland,
particularly in The Economic and Social Review. It then documents recent research on how the gender
wage gap varies across the wage distribution; the gap now appears to be greatest for high earners, for
whom it also tends to be largely unexplained by human capital variables. Finally, it uses a combination
of recent research results and some descriptive analysis of the Labour Force Survey to consider the
potential importance of occupation in explaining the gender wage gap. It concludes with a call for further
research in the area.
