Abstract: The gender wage gap change in the 1990s was decomposed using the micro data of the Basic Surveys on Wage Structure 1990 and 2000. The estimation result shows that the largest contributor to the gender wage gap decline was a relative increase in female service length. An overall decline in the slope of wage profile, a rise in the level of female education, and a shift in the labor force from the manufacturing industry to the service industry also contributed to the decline in the gender wage gap.
