Abstract

La pobreza y la desigualdad de los ingresos laborales y familiares en Argentina han experimentado un sostenido incremento a lo largo de la última década. Como es sabido el ingreso laboral es el producto entre el salario y las horas trabajadas. Si bien importantes resultados han surgido al analizar los cambios producidos en los determinantes del salario, las horas trabajadas han recibido menor atención por parte de la literatura. Es por ello que este trabajo busca caracterizar el impacto en la desigualdad del ingreso y en la pobreza que surge de los cambios experimentados por los determinantes de las horas trabajadas haciendo uso de técnicas de descomposiciones microeconométricas. Adicionalmente se persigue profundizar los estudios previos de medición del efecto distributivo que surge de cambios en los determinantes de los salarios por medio de la metodología de Quantile Regression.
