EVIDÊNCIAS DA DISCRIMINAÇÃO SALARIAL DE GÊNERO EM DIFERENTES CONTEXTOS MACROECONÔMICOS NO BRASIL.

This article aims to identify wage inequalities and the effect of gender discrimination in the acceleration (2004-2008) and economic deceleration phases (2011-2014) in Brazil. Based on the data from the PNAD, the counterfactual decomposition of income is performed, and the results show a reduction in the income gap between men and women between 2004 and 2014, however, the wage differences and discrimination against women persist and occur independently of the economic performance of the country. In the stage of economic acceleration, the wage divergence and discrimination against women increase; the wage convergence and reduction of discrimination against women are evidenced in the economic slowdown. Economic discrimination prevails among non-white workers in relation to the white ones, with a sharp reduction in skin color discrimination in the period of slowdown in economic growth in the country.
