Sumario:Gender based wage differentials is widely observed in the world labor markets.

Results from non-parametric statistical hypothesis test to compare two related samples suggest that male-female wage differentials are explained because of a high degree of vertical segregation, where men tend to occupy higher ranking and better paying positions than women.
