Abstract

RODRIGUEZ PEREZ, Reyna Elizabeth  and  GARCIA ALVARADO, Felipe de Jesús. Salary Inequality Among Workers with and without Disabilities in Mexico, Discrimination or Lower Productivity?. Ens. Rev. econ. [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.2, pp.217-245.  Epub Apr 12, 2021. ISSN 2448-8402.  https://doi.org/10.29105/ensayos39.2-4.

The objective is to determine the existence of a wage gap between workers with and without disabilities in Mexico, in turn, to what extent this disparity is explained by factors related to human capital, with data from Population and Housing Census of 2000 and 2010, and the Firpo, Lemieux y Fortin methodology (2011). The results show the existence of a wage gap and this, despite presenting a decrease throughout the decade, is due to a greater extent to the increase associated with factors not related to productivity, except for the lowest and highest decile.

Keywords : Salary differences; Wage discrimination; Work productivity.
