ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with relative deprivation with regard to wages. Centering on the effects of gender and occupational sex type upon evaluations of one's own and others' wages and the perception of individual and fraternal (group) deprivation, it analyzes the factors that facilitate the translation of perceived discrimination into feelings of relative deprivation (among them, the awareness of a gap that the individual cannot justify, the size of the perceived gap, and the evaluation of one's own investments and labor market value).
