Gender-Based Price Discrimination

Hello,

I just wanted to add that I am currently working on a page with a related topic to this one.

As of now there is only one Wikipedia page, titled “Price Discrimination,” that dedicates space to talking about, more specifically, gender-based pricing discrimination. This page generally is poorly structured, includes original research, and only has one very small section discussing gender-based pricing discrimination - which itself is poorly organized and confusing. The parent page has been rated Start-Class. I have been advised to create my own subpage, which I hope to title “Gender-Based Price Discrimination,” in lieu of revamping the entire parent page. I also intend to sum up my article and change the parent page’s discussion on examples of gender-based price discrimination. As of now, the subsection discusses three cities/states that have litigated the issue or researched the issue. I will most likely add that information (if substantiated by relevant and appropriate sources) to my subpage and remove it from the parent page. I think it tends to bog down the reader with facts instead of explaining the overall concept of gender-based price discrimination. I also believe it can easily be summed up on the parent page and discussed at length on the subpage.

I have already created the new page: Gender-Based Price Discrimination

Here is my outline:

Dr. Baert's comment on this article

Dr. Baert has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

I have two main comments with respect to "Forms of economic discrimination/Against workers", which is my major field of experience.

Firstly, in textbooks wage and hiring discrimination are most of the time complemented with promotion discrimination, i.e. unequal treatment in promotion probabilities. This is, for instance, related to the "Glass Ceiling" page on Wikipedia. So, I would add an additional heading at the same level of "Wage discrimination" and "Hiring discrimination" named "Promotion discrimination". Some relevant references:

Borjas, G. J. (1980): Promotions And Wage Discrimination In The Federal-Government - Evidence From HEW. Economics Letters, 6, 381-385.

Baert, S., De Pauw, A.-S., Deschacht, N. (2016): Do Employer Preferences Contribute to Sticky Floors? Industrial & Labor Relations Review, 69, 714-736.

Booth, A. L., Francesconi, M., Frank, J. (2003): A sticky floors model of promotion, pay, and gender. European Economic Review, 47, 295-322.

Secondly, the discussion of hiring discrimination does not reflect the state-of-the-art. The golden standard to identify discrimination in the labour market is based on randomised field experiments in which fictitious job applications, only differing in one aspect, are sent to real employers. In this respect, you might consider providing the reader with a summary of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_discrimination#By_region. Some references:

Reference to Occupational Segregation

Hi all. I will be expanding the article on occupational segregation in the next few months and will add a link to it in the "forms against workers" section of this page. Since currently Occupational segregation only talks about gender segregation, I will make the page more relevant to this article and discuss causes and effects, as well as possible solutions to racial occupational segregation to give a more holistic perspective. If you have any questions, feel free to check out my user page or sandbox! -Angelalin79 (talk) 01:39, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
