Abstract

O objetivo deste trabalho é fornecer evidência empí- rica sobre os determinantes da desigualdade salarial entre géneros na indústria portuguesa do turismo. Com base nas equações salariais e nas funções de produção esti- madas ao nível da empresa, as diferenças salariais e de produtividade entre homens e mulheres são estimadas e comparadas de modo a inferir se as disparidades salariais observadas são justificáveis pelo facto de as mulheres se- rem relativamente menos produtivas do que os homens, ou se as disparidades são atribuíveis à discriminação sa- larial. Este método é aplicado aos dados da indústria do turismo incluídos nos Quadros de Pessoal. As principais conclusões indicam que as mulheres na indústria do turis- mo em Portugal são menos produtivas do que os homens e que as diferenças salariais são totalmente explicadas por diferenças na produtividade.
