• Resumen

  • La investigación analiza los determinantes de la brecha salarial entre peruanos y migrantes venezolanos en Perú, enfocándose en las condiciones laborales de mujeres migrantes. Utilizando información de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO) y la Encuesta a la Población Venezolana residente en el Perú (ENPOVE) 2022, se estimó una ecuación de salarios de tipo Mincer, incorporando variables de capital humano, características laborales y controles sectoriales. Los resultados muestran que, a diferencia de los determinantes tradicionales asociados al capital humano, la tenencia de contrato formal y el sector productivo resultan factores más relevantes para explicar las brechas salariales. En particular, en los sectores de Comercio al por menor, Hoteles y restaurantes y Servicios personales, la educación y la experiencia no generan retornos significativos para la población venezolana. El estudio aporta evidencia empírica sobre la segmentación laboral de los migrantes en el mercado peruano, con implicancias para la política de empleo inclusivo.
