Piece-rate payment schemes and the employment of women: the case of Hong Kong

Article Abstract:

Alternative theories such as the discrimination in the workplace can help explain the relationship between women's employment and piece rates. Gender segregation could explain part of the relationship. This theory claims that women who worked at jobs related to their tasks at home could be paid through piece rates. Discrimination in the workplace offers another explanation in that women are paid by piece rates due to shorter employment.
