Abstract

A lo largo de la última década se observa una recuperación del valor real del salario mínimo en América Latina. Este estudio analiza, de manera comparativa, los impactos distributivos del fortalecimiento de esta institución en cuatro países de la región, Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Uruguay. A partir de técnicas semi-paramétricas que permiten estimar funciones de densidad contrafactuales se comprueba que, con excepción de Chile, en los tres países restantes dichos cambios han sido igualadores, explicando una porción significativa de la caída de la desigualdad. A su vez, esta reducción ha estado originada en la compresión en la parte inferior de la distribución salarial.
