Description
Summary:This article aims to identify wage inequalities and the effect of gender discrim-ination in the acceleration (2004-2008) and economic deceleration phases (2011-2014) in Brazil. Based on the data from the PNAD, the counterfactual decompo-sition 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 eco-nomic performance of the country. In the stage of economic acceleration, the wage divergence and discrimination against women increase; the wage conver-gence and reduction of discrimination against women are evidenced in the eco-nomic 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.
