Resumen
Las mujeres tienen ingresos laborales promedio inferiores a los hombres en todo el mundo, a pesar de que tienden a tener más años de educación. En los países en desarrollo, esta situación suele ser aún peor. Las mujeres no solo enfrentan brechas salariales en comparación con hombres que tienen la misma productividad y el mismo trabajo, sino que también enfrentan desventajas en cuanto al tipo y condiciones de empleo, la estabilidad laboral, las tasas de desempleo y su carga como cuidadoras. Esta investigación analiza las diferencias en los ingresos laborales por género e informalidad en Costa Rica. Para ello, se utiliza la Encuesta Continua de Empleo del primer trimestre de 2023 para estimar diversas metodologías estadísticas y econométricas. El análisis se realiza estimando tres metodologías econométricas: las ecuaciones de Mincer, la descomposición de Oaxaca-Blinder y la ecuación de Mincer considerando la estimación de regresión de cuantiles semi-paramétrica.
