Brechas de ingresos laborales en el Perú urbano: una exploración de la economía informal
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2015)
Informality is a phenomenon widely present in the Peruvian economy, although with different nuances in it. In this paper we explore the labor market segmentation hypothesis, by decomposing wage gaps using a non-parametric technique introduced by Ñopo (2004). The results show that about 35% of the wage gaps between formal and informal workers cannot be explained by observable factors. These findings do not allow to refute the segmentation hypothesis. Nevertheless, total gaps have narrowed over the past decade. The group of independent workers shows opposed trends in relation to other categories.
