خلاصه	The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition is a regression-based technique that splits the difference in a mean outcome between two groups — classically the average wage gap between men and women or between racial groups — into a part explained by differences in observable characteristics (endowments such as education and experience) and an unexplained part attributed to differences in how those characteristics are rewarded (the coefficients). Introduced independently by Ronald Oaxaca and Alan Blinder in 1973, it became the standard tool for studying wage discrimination and group disparities.	Kitagawa decomposition is a demographic technique that splits the difference between two summary rates — such as two crude death rates, birth rates, or prevalence figures — into the part attributable to differences in the underlying group-specific rates and the part attributable to differences in population composition. Introduced by Evelyn Kitagawa in 1955, it answers whether a gap between two populations reflects genuinely different risks or merely a different age (or other) structure.
