Abstract

This article uses data from the second survey on employment and the informal sector in Cameroon to analyze the wage differentials between various forms of labor contract. By treating the labor contract as an endogenous variable, this study estimates the wage equations using a full information maximum likelihood method (FIML), then decomposes the logarithms of wages corrected for selection effects. The findings show that employees hired under a precarious contract or an unwritten contract register respectively a salary discount of 18.41 % and 14.9 %. The application of legislation governing labor relations and the promotion of written agreements between employers and employees in Cameroon should be encouraged.
