| dc.description | Being married may raise worker productivity and increase the probability of remaining in a job and, as consequence, obtaining a wage premium -- Yet, this effect may be different for males and females -- In developing countries, such as Colombia, the premium may be larger than in developed countries due to the differing social norms and labor market structures -- Using cross-sectional data from Colombian Household Surveys, this paper examines the marriage wage premium and its evolution in Colombia both at the aggregate level and by gender -- We find a marriage wage premium for both male and female populations; this wage premium is explained by the greater human capital endowment in married people and to employer favoritism due to the “social norms” which consider being married an appropriate behavior and reward it | |
| dc.description | Estar casado puede aumentar la productividad de los trabajadores y aumentar la probabilidad de permanecer en un empleo y, como consecuencia, obtener una prima salarial -- Sin embargo, este efecto puede ser diferente para hombres y mujeres -- En los países en desarrollo, como Colombia, la prima puede ser mayor que en los países desarrollados debido a las diferentes normas sociales y estructuras del mercado de trabajo -- Utilizando datos transversales de las Encuestas de Hogares de Colombia Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH), este trabajo examina la existencia de la prima salarial por matrimonio en Colombia y su evolución, se hace para toda la población y diferenciando por género -- Encontramos una prima salarial matrimonio para ambas poblaciones masculina y femenina; esta prima salarial se explica por la mayor dotación de capital humano en las personas casadas y al favoritismo empleador debido a las "normas sociales" que consideran el matrimonio como una conducta apropiada y se recompensa | |
