Gender differences in overeducation: a test of the theory of differential overqualification

Article Abstract:

The validity of the theory of differential overqualification in studies regarding male-female wage inequalities is examined using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics conducted in 1985. The theory proposes that wives living in small towns are forced to accept jobs in which they are overqualified. However, results show the absence of a link between population sizes and the number of overqualified female workers.
