The sharp contrast between the two states in the economic and social indicators provides an interesting context for a comparative study.  As expected, the average earnings and the gender gap in earnings are higher in Tamil Nadu than in Kerala.  Surprisingly, the occupational segregation and wage discrimination are higher in Kerala compared to that in Tamil Nadu. - Reproduced.  aLabour market - India - Kerala  aLabour market - India - Tamil Nadu  aLabour market  aDuraisamy, P.  aIndian Economic Review
