Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in working hours of male and female workers on the wage gap during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) area in 2020 using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition. Utilizing the National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS) 2020, the results showed that working hours positively and significantly affected wages with a coefficient of 4.72% for male workers and 7.05% for female workers. The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition proved that working hours contribute to reducing the wage gap because there is wage convergence due to reduced working hours during the implementation of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions policy in Jabodetabek.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan jam kerja pekerja laki-laki dan perempuan terhadap kesenjangan upah pada masa Pandemi Covid-19 di kawasan Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang dan Bekasi (Jabodetabek) Tahun 2020 dengan menggunakan metode Ordinary Least Square (OLS) dan Dekomposisi Blinder-Oaxaca. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jam kerja berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap upah dengan koefisien sebesar 4,72% untuk pekerja laki-laki dan 7,05% untuk pekerja perempuan. Dekomposisi Blinder-Oaxaca menunjukkan hasil bahwa jam kerja berkontribusi dalam mengurangi kesenjangan upah karena terjadi konvergensi upah akibat pengurangan jam kerja akibat penerapan kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) di Jabodetabek.
