Abstract

This study analyses the evolution of woman labor force participation in the labor market, the contribution of their earnings to household income and its impact on the inequality of per capita household income distribution, in Brazil, for the period 1981-2002. The data set is provided by the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD). The decomposition of the Gini index by factor components shows that, during that period occurred a decrease in the participation of men’s earnings and an increase in the participation of both women’s earnings and pensions in the inequality of per capita household income. The increase in the contribution of women’s earnings to inequality is mostly due to the strong rise in the participation of these earnings in the household income.
