Entendiendo las brechas salariales por genero en Chile

Author

Abstract

El propósito de este paper es estudiar las brechas salariales por género en Chile usando una nueva base de datos, la Encuesta de Protección Social 2002-2006, la que permite controlar por la experiencia laboral efectiva y el timming de dicha experiencia. Las variables de experiencia laboral potencial no reflejan el patrón de participación laboral intermitente y poco continuo que tienen las mujeres en Chile. Se introducen también correcciones por selección ocupacional y se instrumentan dos variables claves: educación y experiencia laboral. Aún cuando la brecha salarial continua siendo desfavorable a la mujer, la introducción de controles de experiencia laboral efectiva y la instrumentación de dicha experiencia laboral y de la educación, ubican a la brecha salarial horaria en torno al 11-18%, guarismos muy inferiores a los reportados en estudios anteriores para Chile. Contrariamente a lo esperado, esta brecha se ha ampliado en los últimos años.
