abstract = {This paper analyzes gender differences in jobs while in high school. The availability of school
class based samples with detailed information on teenage jobs allows for a comparison of the
behavior of boys and girls who are in the same school class, and thus have virtually identical
education levels. Even within these highly homogeneous groups, boys earn substantially
more than girls. The earnings gap cannot be explained by differences in participation rates
and hours of work, nor by gender wage gaps within job types. It is entirely due to the fact that
girls work more in job types with relatively low wages, in particular babysitting. During the
period considered, 1984-2001, the gender patterns of jobs while in school largely remained
unchanged.},
