An analysis of the effect of schooling, experience and sex on earnings in the government and private sectors of urban Java

Raymond P. Byron ; H. Takahashi

The returns of education in Indonesia are analysed using Susenas (household expenditure survey of 1981) data. The private sector is found to reward education more generously than the public sector, while the latter puts a premium on experience. A casual analysis suggests general sex discrimination against female workers at any given level of education; however, once experience is allowed for, the negative sex differentials become insignificant.
