Abstract: This study investigates the gender differentials in wages and job satisfaction using the Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey in Korea. Wage regressions estimate the impact of horizontal mismatch on wage differentials and overall job satisfaction differentials between workers with matched jobs and non-matched jobs. To deal with unobservable heterogeneity, we utilize Heckmanʼs two-step method. The findings imply that male workers have higher wages and job satisfaction than female workers for both horizontally matched and not-matched groups. Moreover, gender wage and job satisfaction differentials are consistently larger in matched job workers than in non-matched job workers in recent periods.
