Resumen
Existe una extensa literatura que da cuenta de que las mujeres se
encuentran desfavorecidas en el mercado de trabajo, a pesar de su mayor
presencia y mayores años de escolaridad. Por lo cual, sigue siendo importante
explorar la brecha salarial de género. En ese sentido, esta investigación busca
analizar la brecha salarial neta de género o la asociada a la discriminación, y si
esta varía regionalmente y macroregionalmente. Esto, porque existe un vacío en
la literatura en cuanto al enfoque regional de la brecha salarial de género.
Además, existen otras razones para investigar en este campo, en especial, para
replantear las políticas públicas.
Se presenta un marco teórico de las determinantes de la brecha salarial
de género: capital humano, discriminación, segmentación, segregación, techo de
cristal y autoselección. A partir de este marco teórico se proponen las variables
explicativas principales que sustentan el modelo econométrico.
La metodología usada para estimar las brechas netas de salario se basa
en una ecuación minceriana corregida por Heckman. Entre nuestros principales
resultados encontramos, en primer lugar, que existe una brecha salarial de
género asociada a la discriminación a nivel nacional. Además de ello,
encontramos que esta brecha varía espacialmente: la brecha neta rural es mayor
a la urbana. En la misma línea, esta brecha también varía macroregionalmente.
Asimismo, presentamos las características fundamentales de la brecha, las
cuales nos permiten, en asociación con nuestro marco teórico, brindar las
sugerencias de política y las conclusiones correspondientes.
There is an extensive literature that shows that women are disadvantaged in the labor market, despite their greater presence and longer years of schooling than men. Therefore, it is still important to explore the gender pay gap. In this sense, this research seeks to analyze the net gender wage gap or that associated with discrimination, and whether it varies regionally and macro-regionally. This is because there is a gap in the literature regarding the regional approach to the gender wage gap. In addition, there are other reasons to do research in this field, especially to rethink public policies. A theoretical framework of the determinants of the gender wage gap is presented: human capital, discrimination, segmentation, segregation, glass ceiling and self-selection. From this theoretical framework, the main explanatory variables that support the econometric model are proposed. The methodology used to estimate the net wage gaps is based on a Mincer equation corrected by Heckman. Among our main results we find, firstly, that there is a gender wage gap associated with discrimination at the national level. Furthermore, we find that this gap varies spatially: the rural net gap is greater than the urban one. This gap also varies macro-regionally. Likewise, we present the fundamental characteristics of the gap, which allow us, in association with our theoretical framework, to provide policy suggestions and corresponding conclusions.
