Abstract

En el presente trabajo se analiza el efecto de la maternidad sobre los salarios femeninos del ano 2012 en el Ecuador estudiando sobre la tenencia, el número y la estructura de edad de los hijos. La metodología implementa ecuaciones mincerianas sobre los datos del ingreso laboral provenientes de las encuestas de hogares; para posteriormente descomponer el diferencial con el método de Oaxaca Blinder con corrección sobre el sesgo de selección. Los resultados muestran que las madres ganan en promedio 7,56% menos que las no madres, presentándose una alta heterogeneidad entre las provincias analizadas y los niveles educativos. Luego de controlar la edad de los hijos se aprecia que las madres de ninos de menos de 5 anos ganan un 10% menos, mientras que las madres que tienen ninos de más de 5 anos, la disminución es de solo el 2%. Por número, si la mujer tiene a su cuidado dos hijos la brecha por maternidad promedio es del 3,7% y si tiene más de dos hijos la rebaja es del 2,26%. No obstante, la mayor parte de la brecha por maternidad en el Ecuador no está causada por el hecho de ser madres sino por sus características socioeconómicas intrínsecas.
