“…They also found that wages have declined more in traditional sectors than in the creative sectors. While Quintana and Garza (2017) analyze the creative activities of Mexico's 32 federal entities, Mendoza-González et al (2017) argue that wage discrimination toward women is more narrow when working hours are considered (as opposed to paid hours), given that women work fewer hours per month than men. This may also contribute to wage differences.…”

“…, between men (h) and women (m) (Mendoza-González et al 2017), in the same way, we treated the exogenous variables. The output shows that the average income of men is higher than that of women.…”

“…On the other hand, Mendoza-González et al (2017), as well as Fortin et al (2011) use the estimated average labor income differentials between men and women as an endogenous variable. In this model, the exogenous variables include human capital (years of average schooling, years of experience, and hours per week devoted to training and/or studies for men and women).…”

“…The endogenous variable is the natural logarithm of labor income: ln ðY h =Y m Þ, just like the exogenous variables. The first endogenous variable measures the labor gap per hour each week between men and women who work full time (Mendoza-González et al 2017).…”

“…This result is consistent with the human capital approach (Becker 1957;Aigner and Cain 1977;Becker 1981) where it has been argued that men earn more than women because the former obtain more formal education, they update their skills through training and they have more work experience. It also implies, however, that if women accumulate more human capital, they experience wage discrimination (Mendoza-González et al 2017).…”

A spatial analysis of precariousness and the gender wage gap in Mexico, 2005–2018

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, Mexico, and the USA (1994-2018) has led to a reorganization of the productive structure of Mexico's 32 metropolitan areas, affecting what jobs are offered in the country's regions. This includes tertiary activity, which determines most employment in metropolitan areas. Most employment in this sector, however, is more precarious than in the secondary sector. Additionally, women participate in this sector more than men, exacerbating wage inequality. Based on data from the National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE in Spanish), we analyze the income gap in Mexico's metropolitan areas. We find that inequality is exacerbated in less developed areas in which the tertiary sector predominates. Moreover, the decrease in the labor gap is caused by the precariousness of working conditions.

Stratification economics has emerged as a field that puts historically and institutionally determined intergroup hierarchies at the forefront of distributive analysis. However, most of the existing theoretical and empirical literature has focused on studying the US stratification regime, limiting the potential application of this analytical framework to other geographies. This paper applies the theoretical framework of stratification economics to analyze the Mexican distributive regime. In the process, we show that expanding the regional focus of stratification economics requires incorporating several insights from other traditions of stratification analysis. Furthermore, we show that a stratification economics approach overcomes several pitfalls of more traditional approaches to analyzing the Mexican distributive regime, such as the human capital approach that anchored several public policy interventions deployed at the beginning of the XXIst century.

The objective of this paper is to measure the spatial changes that have occurred in the working conditions of women in the agricultural sector in the 32 states of Mexico, during the 2008-2017 period. For this, an index is elaborated that considers three factors: rate of occupied female population that receives some remuneration, rate of occupied female population that has access to health and other benefits, and rate of employed female population that does not receive any remuneration. The results of the index for 2017 show persistent precariousness in the working conditions of women in the southern states: Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas, with indexes of 0.13, 0.17 and 0.2, respectively. In contrast, the states of the northwest: Baja California, Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California Sur and Chihuahua, continue presenting the best results with indexes of 0.74, 0.66, 0.66, 0.59 and 0.55, respectively. Relatively more industrialized states, such as Querétaro, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Coahuila and Nuevo León, have improved working conditions by increasing the index considerably, suggesting the existence of a spillover effect on the agricultural sector.
