Diferenciais de Rendimentos entre Raças e Gêneros, nas Regiões Metropolitanas, por Níveis Ocupacionais: Uma Análise através do Pareamento de Ñopo

Abstract

This paper analyzes the behavior of income differentials between gender and race in the metropolitan regions (MRs) and the Federal District, considering four levels of occupation. Given the regional disparity, it was decided to correct the income by the cost of life index developed by Azzoni and Almeida (2016). To capture the differential effects allocation and discrimination, we used the nonparametric method Nopo (2008) applied to the data obtained from the National Household Survey (2014). Furthermore, the method of Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) was applied to the Metropolitan Brazil. Comparing the methods, it can be seen that Oaxaca overestimates the effects of income decomposition. Regarding the differential in each RM and occupational level, women as well as non-white individuals have worse pay. With the disaggregated occupations and by regions, the professionals of the sciences and the arts are the one that has the greatest salary differences in RMs by gender, and by race, the biggest differences are found for the group of leaders and professionals of the sciences.
