Abstract

En este documento se analiza la evolución de la discriminación sexual en el lugar de trabajo en México entre 1994 y 2004, para analizar el papel del individuo y las características de la familia en la determinación de la discriminación por motivo de sexo y las diferencias salariales. Los resultados sugieren que eliminar completamente la segregación jerárquica puede reducir las diferencias de salario observadas entre los sexos en 5 puntos porcentuales, al mismo tiempo que la eliminación de la discriminación en el trabajo puede hacer aumentar las diferencias salariales entre los sexos en seis puntos porcentuales. Además, el papel de la discriminación laboral en las diferencias salariales ha venido aumentando en magnitud durante el período, mientras que el papel de la segregación jerárquica ha venido disminuyendo.
