Abstract

Utilizando la encuesta de Mejoramiento de las Condiciones de Vida (MECO-VI) del año 2002 este trabajo estima la discriminación étnica en el área urbana de Bolivia, separando la muestra entre zonas geográficas y entre trabajadores de distinta calificación. El análisis desagregado por zona geográfica muestra que la discriminación en el Altiplano es poco relevante para explicar la brecha de ingresos, mientras que en la zona de los valles y del Llano la discriminación es más importante que en las diferencias de productividad entre trabajadores. Por otro lado, al separar la muestra entre profesionales y no profesionales se encuentra que en el primer caso la discriminación es más importante que las diferencias de productividad para explicar la brecha de ingresos, mientras que en el segundo caso son las diferencias de productividad entre indígenas y no indígenas. En resumen, los resultados de este trabajo muestran, por una parte, que las brechas de salarios entre grupos étnicos a menudo corresponden mayo
