dc.descriptionEste documento tiene como objetivo cuantificar en qué medida las características de la industria y la ocupación explican la brecha salarial de género en Colombia. Para cuantificar el papel de estos factores, realizamos métodos de descomposición contrafactual que permiten dividir la brecha total en la contribución de la participación de género en el empleo a nivel de industria, la composición demográfica y las características de las primas salariales. Esto es posible adaptando la descomposición clásica de Oaxaca-Blinder a un procedimiento de dos pasos, que se ilustra a través de simulaciones de Monte Carlo. Utilizando datos colombianos para 2019 y explotando la heterogeneidad en la industria y el nivel de ocupación, los hallazgos sugieren que los tres componentes dan forma a la brecha salarial de género. Si bien las diferencias en los retornos son la principal fuerza impulsora de la brecha existente, la proporción del empleo por género y la composición de los trabajadores en todas las industrias y ocupaciones arrojan resultados mixtos.spa
dc.description.abstractThis paper aims to quantify at which extent industry and occupation characteristics explain the gender pay gap in Colombia. To quantify the role of these factors we perform counterfactual decomposition methods that allow to split the total gap into the contribution of the gender share of employment at the industry level, the demographic composition and the characteristics pay premia. This is possible by adapting the classical Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to a two-step procedure, which is illustrated through Monte Carlo simulations. Using Colombian data for 2019 and exploiting the heterogeneity at the industry and the occupation level, findings suggest that the three components shape the gender pay gap. While differences in returns are the main force driver of the existing gap, the gender employment share, and the composition of workers across industries and occupations provide mixed results.spa
