Os diferenciais de rendimentos por gênero no Rio Grande do Sul: uma aplicação do Modelo de Heckman e da Decomposição de Oaxaca-Blinder

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the differential earnings between men and women in Rio Grande do Sul and in the main towns of its seven mesoregions. Therefore, from the database of the Census 2010 - IBGE, is estimated an equation of the type mincerian with correction for self-selection, in order to assess the factors that are determinant on the income of individuals. The results show that education has a fundamental role in the determination of income, however, their returns show different behavior between the municipalities. In this context, we highlight the cities of Porto Alegre and Santa Maria, where the returns are higher than those reported in the state. After, it holds the decomposition of the earnings differential by gender through the Oaxaca-Blinder procedure. The decomposition of this differential observes that there is statistical discrimination against women in the state in all municipalities analyzed, but with different magnitudes. In Caxias do Sul, this differential is well above the one of the state, because most of the men are inserted in the sector of the economy that employs the most in the city.
