FACTORS AFFECTING THE INCOMES OF MEN AND WOMEN PHYSICIANS: FURTHER EXPLORATIONS.

Langwell, Kathryn M.
- Abstract
The article examines the factors affecting the income differentials between male and female physicians based on the findings of the study of Kehrer in the U.S. Kehrer has suggested that a portion of the hourly income differential between men and women physicians might be due to differences in efficiency in production of services between these two groups of physicians. It may also be that women physicians are excluded from high-productivity practice forms by not being invited to join group practices with male physicians. Other potential explanations may be that women may have major alternative family income sources which permit them to work at a more leisurely pace than do male physicians who are more likely to be sole family-income producers. Overt discrimination apparently is not a major explanation of net hourly income differentials between male and female physicians.
