Abstract

Este trabajo estudia las disparidades salariales por raza en Brasil durante el período 1980-2010. Utilizando microdatos de censos brasileros, se encuentra que la mayor parte de la brecha observada entre el ingreso de un blanco y un afrodescendiente se debe a diferencias en características productivas, siendo el nivel educativo el mayor determinante. A pesar de ello, entre 20 y 30 por ciento de la diferencia de ingresos promedio observada no es explicada por ningún atributo determinante de la productividad, y esta porción es creciente en el tiempo. Asimismo, el análisis de la brecha salarial para distintos cuantiles de la distribución del ingreso, revela que el componente no explicado tiende a desaparecer en la cola inferior de la distribución de ingresos, y se acrecienta en la cola superior, evidenciando un posible techo de cristal para los afrodescendientes.
