Labour market discrimination against indigenous people in Peru
利用1991年秘鲁生活水平测量调查数据,分解土著与非土著之间的工资差距,发现大部分差距无法由人力资本等可观测因素解释,指向劳动力市场歧视。
In this article, the component of the gross wage differential that can be explained by productivity‐enhancing attributes and that which is due to unexplained factors and labour market discrimination are empirically determined. Individual data from the 1991 Living Standards Measurements Survey of Peru are used to analyse labour market earnings and to decompose the gross earnings differential. A large portion of the indigenous/non‐indigenous wage gap is unexplained by human capital and other observable differences.
