This paper focuses on the wage differential between men and women from the viewpoint of “labor market segmentation theory,” using micro-data. As an analysis framework, labor markets were separated into oligopolistic integrated industrial sectors and competing industrial sectors, and estimates made that take into account the simultaneity of wages and employment of men and women in each industrial sector. The results of analysis show that both men and women experience difficulty in finding employment in integrated sectors after leaving employment at a company, and that there are limits on the movement of labor between sectors. It also found that there is a sample selection functioning in the employment decisions made in each sector, and even when bias due to this factor is taken into account, the values of the production factors within integrated sectors are large compared to the differences for men and women in competing sectors. Further, approaching segregation structures by deriving expected wages for men and women who switch sectors suggested that the wages for both sectors may act as a limiting function on the movement of workers between sectors.
