A desigualdade salarial entre homens e mulheres no município de Sant'Ana do Livramento-RS

Abstract

This research aims to analyze this income inequality between men and women in the municipality of Sant'Ana do Livramento-RS. In the labor market, inequalities are verified, especially with regard to positions and wages between men and women when they perform the same activity. Therefore, it is assumed that there is wage inequality between men and women, since data from the 2000 and 2010 Demographic Censuses of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the National Household Sample Survey (IBGE) reveal this. The method used to develop this research was explanatory and descriptive. To explain the wage inequalities, the discrimination theory was used. The results indicate that schooling and experience are positive attributes of remuneration and that there are distinctions in treatment among individuals in the labor market. Furthermore, they indicate that, even with the developments and achievements of women in recent times in the labor market, she is still at a disadvantage compared to men in terms of remuneration.
