Análisis comparativo de la discriminación salarial por género en Colombia, año 2009 y 2019 Análisis comparativo de la discriminación salarial por género en Colombia, año 2009 y 2019

Abstract

This research consists of determining the difference in the level of wage discrimination by gender in Colombia. In this way, it will be identified whether the phenomenon has been reduced or increased compared to ten years ago. Mincerian equations were estimated to determine the unadjusted wage gap and the adjusted wage gap. Likewise, the Oaxaca Blinder methodology was applied for the decomposition of the wage gap based on microdata from the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH) of the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE) for the periods 2009 and 2019. The results show that part of the wage differences are due to factors associated with discrimination and factors associated with the differential in human capital by gender.
