        AB  - In this paper we investigate the evolution of the gender wage gap over early careers of skilled
workers in Germany using administrative longitudinal data. Advantages of the data for this
type of analysis are that we observe complete work and skill accumulation histories from the
beginning for up to 13 years in the labour market. Descriptives show an entry wage
differential of 22 percent between male and female full-time workers. The differential stays
almost constant throughout the first 8 eight years in the labour market. Adopting a human
capital model, we investigate the sources for the differential by the separate analysis of entry
wages and early career wages.
