A decade ago, women who chose to work in the nonprofit sector made relatively small monetary sacrifices. However, recent data point to a marked decline, during the 1980s, in the wages of women in the nonprofit sector relative to women in the for‐profit sector. This relative decline in wages is likely to lead to labor shortages in the nonprofit sector if nonprofit managers do not engage in active policies to attract new workers.
