Indian Journal of Labour EconomicsSummary: In this paper an attempt is made to estimate the extent of discrimination against females using the human capital framework. The empirical results show that the correction for selectivity bias decreases the discrimination coefficient from 48 per cent to 28 per cent. The remaining 72 per cent is due to differences in human capital endowments. The higher endowment difference implies that the pre-market discriminatory practice in the family with respect to education, health and nutrition are more crucial than market discrimination. - Reproduced
