Abstract

El presente trabajo contribuye a explicar los determinantes de ladistribución salarial en América Latina durante la década de 1990. Enel estudio se utiliza el modelo básico de descomposición de la varianzade los salarios propuesto por Fields (2002);, basado en la estimación deuna ecuación de salarios a la Mincer corregida por sesgo de selección.Esta metodología permite cuantificar los efectos de las diversasvariables explicativas de la desigualdad salarial. En los principalesresultados resalta que la educación es por lejos el factor más relevantede la desigualdad salarial en la región. Además, su importancia haaumentado en el tiempo, a pesar de que el poder explicativo del modelose ha mantenido estable.
