To test this theory, this study estimates the impact of risingimport penetration on gender wage discrimination in Indonesian manufacturingindustries from 2000 to 2014. Gender wage discrimination is proxied by change inresidual gender wage gap. Empirical result suggests that the bigger market power, thebigger impact of rising import penetration on narrowing residual gender wage gap. Thisresult can be interpreted as lower gender wage discrimination in sector which is moreexposed to import penetration and initially has bigger market power.
