Discriminación laboral de género en el sector turismo: un análisis para el caso peruano en el contexto de la COVID-19

Palabras clave: Discriminación laboral, brecha salarial, género, turismo, Covid-19

Resumen

Este artículo identifica procesos de discriminación laboral de género en el sector turismo peruano, analizando los determinantes de la brecha salarial entre hombres y mujeres en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19. Para ello, se utilizan la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares entre 2018 y 2021 y la metodología de descomposición de brechas salariales por cuantiles de Machado y Mata (2005), la cual incluye una corrección por sesgo de selección en la participación laboral de hombres y mujeres en el sector turismo (Buckinsky, 1998; Albrecht et al., 2009). La brecha salarial fue descompuesta en diferencias en las características laborales (educación, experiencia) y diferencias en los retornos de tales características. Los resultados muestran que la brecha salarial es desfavorable a las mujeres y es explicada principalmente por diferencias en los retornos, sobre todo en cuantiles más bajos de la distribución salarial. Los procesos de discriminación laboral contra las mujeres en turismo se habrían incrementado durante la pandemia, en particular el efecto piso pegajoso.
