Abstract
This paper conducted a comparative study for the impacts of operator type, either nonprofit or for-profit, on worker wages. Focusing on the Japanese home-care labor market, we compare wage distributions based on whether the operator type is for-profit or non-profit. In addition to the average wage gap that previous studies have focused on, this study also estimates the distribution of the wage gap conditional on workers' background attributes. The results show that the wage gap between for-profit and nonprofit firms differs significantly depending on the background attributes of the workers.
