Abstract

Se analiza para Argentina el ingreso relativo y las características de los docentes. Se aplica ecuaciones Mincerianas, a una muestra de individuos obtenida de la EPH, mayo 1998, en 29 aglomerados urbanos, para evaluar diferencias de ingreso, éstas se descomponen, siguiendo a Oaxaca, en dos partes, atribuible la primera a las diferencias en las características, y la segunda a los retornos. Los resultados indican: el ingreso horario- docente supera el promedio general de la economía, se sitúa debajo del correspondiente a los ocupados con estudios superiores y universitarios y el efecto atribuible a las características personales eleva el ingreso docente por encima de la media de la economía, lo mantiene en un nivel similar frente a los ocupados con estudios superiores, pero lo penaliza frente al conjunto de ocupados con título profesional. / Relative income of teachers is analyzed in Argentina. A Mincerian income equation is estimated for a cross section sample of individuals from 1998 Permanent Household Survey (EPH) over twenty-nine metropolitan areas and a Oaxaca decomposition procedure is followed to ascertain whether characteristics or returns explain better the log mean difference in income of teachers and other relevant groups used for comparison. Hourly income of teachers are found to be higher than the average for the economy, slightly lower than that of workers with post-secondary studies, but lower definite respective of professionals. Characteristics is a critical source of teacher-non-teacher income differential. Its relative weight changes according to the group of comparison chosen. Substracting the effect of characteristics, income difference is reduced by 40 % in the total population, 16% in the post-secondary population but has the reverse effect of penalizing teachers vs professionals.
