Abstract:
This paper computes lifetime earnings (LTE) in France for the 1967 to 1987 entry cohorts and compares our results with the US. Median LTE in France increased moderately for both genders, in contrast to the US where men's LTE declined and women's rose sharply. We also examine some of the factors driving the dynamics of LTE in France. We find that education plays a key role in shaping LTE across cohorts, place of birth has a large influence on lifetime earnings, and differences in working time explain a larger share of the gender gap for younger than for older cohorts.
