Notes: (i) Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition is performed using a model which includes personal and work-related characteristics. Specification for rest of public sector health professionals also includes occupation dummies for detailed SOC 2010, where 2219 Health professionals n.e.c are grouped with 2,214 Ophthalmic opticians and 2,216 Veterinarians due to the small sample size in these categories. Specification for rest of the public sector also includes SOC 2010 major groups (nine categories) and SIC sections (regrouped as: O Public administration and defence; compulsory social security; P Education; Q Human health and social work activities and Other which contains anything outside these three groups). (ii) Decompositions use the relevant male coefficients as the baseline. (iii) Figures in [] are proportions of observed GPG. (iv)
