Abstract This paper reveals the influence mechanism of enterprise heterogeneity and labor heterogeneity on the skill wage gap by putting forward the research hypothesis and constructing the theoretical model. Based on the micro data of China's industrial enterprises, this paper empirically tests the impact of labor heterogeneity and enterprise heterogeneity on the gap of skill wage. The results of research are as follows. First of all, enterprise heterogeneity has significant influence on skill wage gap. Among them, the better the enterprise performance, the stronger the innovation ability, the higher the productivity level, the higher the participation of foreign capital, and the bigger the skill wage gap. Export enterprises and non-export enterprises have obvious skill wage premium. Second, the labor heterogeneity has a significant impact on the skill wage gap. The higher the proportion of male workers, the longer the years of education, the higher the proportion of skilled workers and technical employees, the greater the skill wage gap. The heterogeneity of human capital further widens the gender skill wage gap. Third, the interaction between labor heterogeneity and enterprise heterogeneity has a significant influence on skill wage gap. Among them, the proportion of skilled workers expands the narrow skill wage gap. The proportion of technical employees further expands the broad skill wage gap. The broad skill wage gap is larger than the narrow skill wage gap. On this basis, some policy suggestions are put forward with certain value for reference and outlook on the future research.
