| description |
Since the late 1980s, macroeconomic and
trade reform in Brazil appears to have been accompanied by a
substantial improvement in the position of women compared
with men in the labor market, despite only modest changes to
labor market institutions. The authors examine movements in
the gender wage gap from 1988 to 1998. Their findings
indicate that, over this period, the gender wage gap fell
mainly because of reduced discrimination against women. But
the authors find evidence to suggest that, more recently,
since the elimination of high inflation, human capital
investments and other earnings-related enhancements have
begun to improve women's condition. |
