Abstract

La consecución de la igualdad de género en el mercado laboral no sólo es un objetivo deseable por sí mismo, sino también por los efectos que tiene sobre el crecimiento y el bienestar. Partiendo de este reconocimiento, en esta investigación se aproximan los efectos que tiene la desigualdad de género en la participación, empleo, segregación ocupacional e ingresos laborales sobre la pobreza monetaria en el área urbana de Bolivia. Con este fin, se aplica la técnica de microsimulaciones no paramétricas para generar escenarios en los que se simulan distribuciones de ingresos en ausencia de las brechas de género en cada una de estas esferas. A partir de la comparación de los indicadores de pobreza observados y simulados, se evidencia que de 2006 a 2015 la desigualdad de género en la participación e ingresos laborales, implicó costos sobre el bienestar de la sociedad en términos de pobreza.
