Caracterização do mercado de trabalho formal em Mato Grosso : recorte em função dos sexos masculino e feminino

Abstract

The objective of this article was to characterize the formal labor market in Mato Grosso, with data from the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO), as well as to verify if there is a difference in the wages of male and female workers in Mato Grosso. Data from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) were used referring to the salary ranges of Mato Grosso workers and years of schooling. Despite the similarity in the level of education between the genders, the results indicate that among the 581 possible occupations in the CBO, around 12% of them were women who were not present in the labor market, against only 0.3% of the male absence. Average male salaries were 20% higher than female ones, with emphasis on positions with less schooling. Men earn higher wages in 81% of occupations and women in only 18%. In 78% of the municipalities, men's salaries were higher than women's. The results suggest the presence of glass ceiling and sticky floor phenomena in the labor market in Mato Grosso, as both at the bottom and at the top of occupations there are wage differences between genders. At the end, possibilities for confronting wage differentials between genders are suggested.
