Abstract

El objetivo principal de este estudio es analizar el comportamiento del ingreso laboral de una persona en función de las variables que lo componen, a través de una aplicación en el mercado laboral ecuatoriano. Las variables a utilizar son de dos tipos: heredadas y de esfuerzo propio. Las variables heredadas se caracterizan por ser circunstanciales, es decir, son todas aquellas situaciones o condiciones que rodean o afectan al individuo al nacer, y corresponden básicamente a la información socioeconómica de sus padres. Las variables de esfuerzo propio se caracterizan por ser las cualidades, habilidades y decisiones que por si mismo toma el individuo para incrementar su productividad laboral y mejorar sus ingresos. Una vez determinada la relación cualitativa entre todas las variables, por medio de simulaciones se evalúa el efecto en los ingresos, considerando diversos escenarios, en particular, se analiza un escenario en el cual todas las personas tienen las mismas oportunidades al nacer (igualdad de características heredadas) para diferentes intervalos de edades. Finalmente, a través del coeficiente de Gini se evalúan los efectos obtenidos en los distintos escenarios, en la desigualdad de los ingresos. Los datos utilizados en este estudio han sido obtenidos de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida, ECV (2006).
