Abstract

Este artículo analiza el sector público en Uruguay entre 1853 y 1893 a partir de las funciones estatales, las categorías ocupacionales y los niveles salariales por nivel de calificación. El enfoque de este trabajo se basa en un análisis general sobre la estructura de empleo y en una selección de ocupaciones. Los resultados indican la participación relativamente elevada de empleos de baja calificación y una mayor compensación de acuerdo al grado de calificación, independientemente de la función estatal. En términos de la selección de ocupaciones, los hallazgos demuestran discrepancias entre funciones, siendo notorias las diferencias salariales de acuerdo al nivel de calificación en los ámbitos administrativos y coercitivos, en comparación a las funciones económica y social.
