Resumen
HUESCA, Luis y OCHOA, Gloria. Wage inequality and technological change along the Northern Border of Mexico. Prob. Des [online]. 2016, vol.47, n.187, pp.165-188. ISSN 0301-7036.
This paper explains the behavior of wage inequality in Mexico and the corresponding region along the northern border in the time period 2005-2012. We use a traditional and easy-to-interpret coefficient, the Gini index, which is accurately decomposed using a cooperative game approach, to obtain the causes behind its gradual decline, as the index fell from 0.435 to 0.400 by 2012. The results show that it is within groups—by 70%—that the wage gap has been reduced by type of task in the job position for the border region and by skills for the country.
Palabras llave : Wage inequality; labor market; Gini index; technological change; northern border.
