Abstract
We use detailed cohort data from three surveys of graduates two explanations for the large decline in the male-female occurred in the United Kingdom during the early 1970s. butes the fall to gender-specific factors, most notably the antidiscrimination legislation. The second explanation argues changes were largely in response to changes in the wage in particular to the introduction of income policies. Our findings show that for U.K. graduates, all the change in relative wages that occured in this period can be accounted for by gender specific-forces.
