Abstract [en]

This paper examines a highly ongoing topic today; inequality between females and males. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Swedish sub-goal economic equality and examine if there have been any improvements in the gender wage gap between 2010 and 2020. Based on Human capital theory and Doing gender a part of the gender wage gap can be explained. The dataset is provided by the Swedish authority Skatteverket and consists of two randomised samples. One sample is from 2010 and the other one is from 2020. Both years contain 500 observations of females and 500 observations of males, adding up to 1000 observations in total for each year. Ordinary Least Square regressions have been executed, further the addition of an interaction term made it possible to study the effects of how the wage has changed during this ten-year period. The result demonstrates that the gender wage gap exists in both years, but no improvement can be determined.
