Item Gender Wage Gap: A Labor Market Analysis of Cali-Colombia and its Metropolitan Area(Universidad del Zulia, 2024) Vargas Calderón, Diego Fernando; Rios Obando, Jose Fabian; Rengifo Ortiz, Christian Isaac; Serna Muñoz, Katherine GisselleThis study aims to analyze the gender wage gap in the labor market of Cali and its metropolitan area during the third quarter of 2023. Using microdata from the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH, 2023), the Blinder & Oaxaca (1973) econometric model is implemented to calculate wage differences. Variables considered include education, work experience, working hours, and childcare responsibilities. The results indicate that men possess more favorable individual characteristics, such as higher education and experience, leading to higher wages. Conversely, women face disadvantages in these areas, resulting in lower wages. Although part of the wage gap is explained by observable differences, gender discrimination and social expectations also play a role. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for policies that promote equal opportunities and awareness to achieve equitable income distribution in Cali’s labor market.Item Public policy and its impact on innovation, competitiveness, and performance in the tourism sector(Cogent OA, 2023-08-15) Zúñiga Collazos, Alexander; Rios Obando, Jose Fabian; Gómez López, Julián Mauricio; Vargas García, Lina MarcelaThe aim of this research is to analyze the impact of public policy oninnovation, competitiveness, and performance of 100 small and medium-sizedenterprises in the tourism sector, in the Department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia.For this purpose, a quantitative empirical study was conducted using the equationmodel, which is considered ideal for research within the services sector.Theoretically, the model proves that a positive relationship exists between theconstructs analyzed, which reinforces the empirical evidence that public policiesconstitute a dynamic axis for the organizational development of the tourism sector,as it favors the dynamics of innovation, competitiveness, and performance.
