Abstract: Using the last wave of the Community Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) survey, this article employs a semi-parametric decomposition method to examine the male--female pay gap over the entire conditional wage distribution of the managerial workforce in the United Kingdom. The results make clear a U-shaped pattern for the pay gap, thus showing both significant sticky floor and glass ceiling effects. The counterfactual decomposition also displays that the gap is mostly due to the difference in rewards, whose relative effect grows as we move to the upper quantiles of the whole wage distribution.
