Abstract

El mercado laboral colombiano ha acogido cada vez más al género femenino hasta el punto de ocupar cargos de altos salarios y reconocimiento. Para analizar lo anterior, se tomaron en cuenta los registros de la Encuesta Integrada de Hogares, datos oficiales, para los segundos trimestres de los anos 2.001, 2.005 y 2.009. Se demostró que la segregación genera brechas salariales, respuesta para el cuestionamiento principal de este documento. Pese a ello, los esfuerzos de las mujeres en pertenecer al mercado laboral han reducido la brecha salarial entre las que pertenecen sectores donde son segregadas y las que no lo están. Su mayor preparación profesional, el menor número de personas en el hogar, su posición de jefe del mismo, entre otros factores han hecho que éstas participen más activamente de actividades que anteriormente eran consideradas exclusivas para los hombres.
