Abstract

The segregation of white-collar and blue-collar workers is a labor phenomenon that depends on their tasks. A study of labor segregation was conducted with the National Urban Employment Survey (eneu) 1996 and the National Occupation and Employment Survey (enoe) 2019. First, some indicators of the existing segregation in the country are presented to subsequently perform the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition on the estimated labor segregation probabilities. The results indicate that the fundamentals of labor segregation, the level of attraction or concentration of blue-collar workers in routinized activities, exceeds the degree of expulsion or rejection of non-routinized activities.
