O diferencial na distribuição de rendimentos salariais entre gênero: uma análise após o período de expansão econômica em Pernambuco na década de 2000

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the evolution of the wage differentials among gender, after the change of the economic scenario with increasing structural investments in Pernambuco. As well as, to estimate the wage differentials by gender for different groups of work by means of a linear regression model and observe the socioeconomic profile of the workforce in Pernambuco, over the years 2000. The data used were those of PNAD, collected by IBGE, in the years 2001 and 2009. The sample matched 24,964 people in the year 2001 and 24,600 in the year 2009. To estimate the wage differentials by gender for different groups of occupation have been used the OLS and quantile regression. In General, there was a decrease in the wage differential between men and women for the estimates through the OLS, as well as for the quantile series. As well as, on an analysis by occupational groups the differential effect also decreases. Note that the categories of workers and entrepreneurs registered presented the biggest differential. It is therefore concluded that the effects of workers ' productive characteristics (education, experience, number of children) have enough correlation in the determination of wages. And to the variable of interest "genre" discrimination for women is still quite visible, but the reasons may be subjective to the local labour market in the face of the advance of structural investments and new requirements arising from the lack of skilled labor in the analysis period.
