- Abstract
- In This work is presented an empirical analysis of the impacts of the trade liberalization on the Brazilian wage inequality, considering, in special, the different levels of skill (years of schooling), of the workers of the industry. The data include the period 1981-2002 and have as base the information of the PNADs of the IBGE. This work finds evidences of that from the trade opening occurred a reduction of the wage inequality in the industry and of the average real salary. However, such reduction of the wage inequality reveals little expressive. Also a reduction of wage inequality is observed between the educational levels during the period of trade opening. Finally, it is possible verify a relation statistically significant between the reduction of the wage inequality between skilled and unskilled workers and the trade liberalization.
