“…According to empirical studies, consensual unions have become more frequent in recent decades in Brazil and in the United States (Madalozzo, 2008) and Europe (Kiernan, 2002). Legislation in some countries, including Brazil, 3 gives cohabitants the same legal rights that are accorded married couples.…”

“…Since the period following military dictatorship in Brazil, societal transformation has intensified and young people who live in urban centers see consensual unions as a way to continue single life or construct an 'experimental marriage' (Berquó, 1998). Madalozzo (2008) used Current Population Survey (CPS) data from 1995, 1997, and 1999 about American women between 20 and 64 years of age and analyzed the wage differences between married and cohabiting women. Using switching regression methods and the Oaxaca decomposition, this study shows the existence of a financial penalty for married women.…”

“…In other words, would married women earn more than single women because, like men, they have become more productive, increasing their remuneration in the labor market, or would they earn less than single women because they must accommodate two different demands (labor and home production for a couple)? The results for the United States show that single women receive higher wages than married and cohabiting women (Madalozzo, 2008), and the explanation for this difference is related to the fact that single women have more time to invest in their careers when compared with married or cohabiting women, who have double demands placed on their time: home and work.…”

Consensual union, also known as cohabitation, has become more frequent in recent decades in Brazil and many other countries. In this context, some studies have analyzed the impact of marriage on women's wages. This article analyzes the effects of marital status on Brazilian women's wages by specifically investigating the individual characteristics of these effects using data from the 2000 Brazilian Census Database. This study concludes that wages differ by up to 15 per cent between married and single women and up to 3 per cent between married and cohabiting women. ResumoA união consensual, também conhecida como coabitação, é um fenômeno que tem sido cada vez mais frequente nas últimas décadas, não somente no Brasil, mas também nos mais diversos países. Ao mesmo tempo, surgiram estudos sobre o impacto do casamento no salário das mulheres. O presente artigo analisa o efeito do estado civil nos salários das mulheres que residem no Brasil. Para tanto, esse estudo utiliza as características individuais para a análise dos efeitos colhidas através do Censo Brasileiro realizado em 2000. As conclusões mostram que existe diferença salarial de até 15% entre mulheres casadas e solteiras e essa diferença é de até 3% entre mulheres casadas e coabitantes.

“…Madalozzo & Gomes (2008), por exemplo, examinaram a relação dos salários das mulheres a partir do seu estado civil em vista do recrudescimento de casamentos não oficializados (coabitação) nas últimas décadas nos Estados Unidos. Contrariamente ao modelo de Becker (1991) os resultados indicaram que mulheres solteiras ganham maiores salários que aquelas casadas e coabitantes em razão do maior tempo investido na carreira e menor demanda por dupla jornada de trabalho.…”

ResumoEste trabalho analisa o diferencial de salários no Brasil a partir da orientação sexual com base no Censo 2010. Não foram observados padrões sistemáticos nas estimações tanto em homens como em mulheres, mas diferenças estatisticamente significativas a favor dos casais do mesmo sexo. Destaca-se que os casais gays ganham, em média, 25,11% a mais que os casais heterossexuais, mantendo fixas suas condições de ocupação e ramos de atividade nas estimativas de MQO. No que tange às mulheres, casais de lésbicas ganham, em média, 13,84% a mais nos modelos de correção de seletividade amostral com controle de todas as características observadas.Palavras-chave: Novos Arranjos Familiares; Orientação Sexual; Censo; Diferencial de Salários. AbstractThis paper aims to analyze the wage gap according to sexual orientation by making use of the new methodology of family arrangement identification from the Brazilian Census of 2010. No systematic patterns were found on men and women regressions. However, statistically significant differences in favor of homosexuals were found on both models. It should be mentioned that gay couples earn on average 25.11% more than heterosexual couples, after controlling for occupational and the economic sector. Regarding women, lesbian couples earn on average 13.84% more than their heterosexual counterparts after controlling for the observed characteristics in a sample selection correction model.

“…Indivíduos que vivem com companheiro/a recebem remuneração aproximadamente 10,4% superior a indivíduos que não vivem, nem nunca viveram, com companheiro/a; já os que já viveram, mas não vivem atualmente com companheiros, recebem uma remuneração cerca de 4,9% maior do que aqueles que não vivem e nunca viveram com companheiro. Estes dois últimos resultados de existência de um prêmio para o casamento são alinhados a resultados de estudos anteriores sobre o tema (MADALOZZO; GOMES, 2012;MADALOZZO, 2008;KOREMAN;NEUMARK, 1991).…”
