Hello everyone,

I am using Oaxaca decomposition for my graduation project, where the subject is wage differences between gender, with some focus on difference between the public and private sectors. I first applied the decomposition method on wages in general to obtain the gender wage gap between genders. Later on, I have applied the threefold decomposition method for hourly wages in both public and private sectors to obtain a wage gap there. However, as can be observed in table below, in few of the years the "difference" and the "Interaction" has high p-values. What does this high value mean? Can I still make inferences about the gap? I can't find any sources that would discuss the p-values or their significance to the decomposition.
