Abstract

In this article four approaches to gender problem examination in Republic of Moldova were proposed and discussed. First of them is referred to Gross Domestic Product maximization in respect with women and men labor force used. Second approach deals with Mincer`s “Human capital earnings function” approach to evaluation of the budget employees from one research institute. Stat data about wages payments for all categories of employees were used. Third approach represents an attempt to apply Markov chain for gender problem solving. Diagonal transition matrix was constructed. Problem of eigenvalues finding was solved and national economy stability problem was discussed. And the last approach considers gender inequality based on the selected data from the questionnaire on gender problems. Five indicators, namely: the perception of existence of inequality in the workplace, gender, age, the level of education and the sector of economic activity were selected. Regression function was defined, estimated and analysed.
