Item Análisis comparado de las brechas salariales por género entre el tercer trimestre de 2019 y el tercer trimestre de 2021 para Cali y su área metropolitana(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022-11-28) Perez, Catalina; Obregón Morales, JohynerWage discrimination continues to generate a broad paradigm among economists and researchers who try to explain the origin of wage differences between men and women. This research aims to estimate the gender wage gap for the city of Cali and its metropolitan area between the third quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2021, using as a database the large integrated household survey (GEIH) provided by the national department statistics (DANE). Wage differences due to human capital characteristics and unobservable effects or discrimination factors are estimated using the Oaxaca Blinder wage decomposition method. The results show the increase in total wage gaps during the two periods 1,1% and more pronounced in feminized activities 8%, where women are highly concentrated, while in masculinized activities where female participation is very low, women have higher labor income higher hourly averages than men, which reverses the gap in favor of women (-8,3%; -10,6%). Although women have managed to match the levels of productivity represented by the traditional factors of human capital (education and experience) which continue to be relevant to understand the behavior and evolution of the gaps in many sectors of the labor market, these factors only manage to explain a very small proportion of the pay gap.
