    El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar la brecha salarial entre empleados del sector público y privado en Ecuador. La metodología utilizada es el método de Oaxaca y Blinder (método de descomposición). Los micro datos se obtienen de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo, Desempleo y Subempleo (ENEMDU) del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticos y Censos (INEC) de los años 2008, 2013 y 2018.

    Los resultados obtenidos, sugieren la existencia de una brecha entre el sector público y privado, donde los salarios del sector público son relativamente más altos a los del privado. Además, la escolaridad y la experiencia influyen positivamente en los niveles de ingresos, siendo esta última el factor más determinante. La descomposición de las brechas de ingreso por sector muestra que la brecha salarial responde a diferencias en las dotaciones de capital humano y a componentes discriminatorios de la fuerza laboral. Las implicaciones de política van dirigidas a disminuir la brecha de ingreso público-privada.

    Estas deben ser orientadas a mejorar los niveles de formación y profesionalización de los trabajadores y a generar escenarios para la igualdad de oportunidades.

    The aim of this research is to study the wage gap between public and private sector employees in Ecuador. The methodology used is the Oaxaca and Blinder method (decomposition method). The necessary microdata is obtained from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment (ENEMDU) of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) for the years 2008, 2013 and 2018. The results obtained suggest the existence of a gap between public and private sectors, where public sector wages are relatively higher than those of the private sector. In addition, schooling and experience influence income levels positively, with the latter being the most determining factor. The decomposition of income gaps by sector shows that the wage gap responds to differences in human capital endowments and to discriminatory components of the labour force. The policy implications are aimed at reducing the public-private income gap.
