Diferencial de Salários por Cor e Sexo no Brasil: Uma Análise por Grandes Regiões

Abstract

This study aims to analyze income differences based on gender and race in the Brazilian job market. We use the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to identify and measure how much of the income inequality between groups of gender and race is explained by discriminatory factors and how much of this inequality is explained by productive factors. The analysis will be carried out based on the National Household Sample Survey microdata (PNAD 2015). The main results show that there is still a wage difference between gender and race: men earn more than women and whites earn more than they are not white, and the wage gap between the sexes is less than the wage gap between the races.
