La lucha contra la brecha de género salarial en tiempos de pandemia. Un análisis para el caso peruano

Abstract

This research seeks to make visible the changes produced by the health crisis in the gender wage gap in Peru. For this purpose, a pool data was used from the National Household Survey (ENAHO), 2015-2020. Regarding the methodology, the Oaxaca-Blinder wage decomposition was applied. This model explains the differences in labour determinants, dividing the wage gap between two groups with different characteristics in productivity, education or work experience. The final results show that the arrival of the pandemic in Peru meant a setback in the progress of gender wage equality.
