    Using a large administrative matched employer-employee dataset we analyse the gender wage gap in the Portuguese tourism labour market. As background, employment and pay in the tourism industry is thoroughly characterized. Using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition of the gender wage gap, we find that 45 percent of the gap is due to differences in attributes of male and female workers in tourism. Our estimate of the coefficient of discrimination in the tourism industry (8.4 percent) puts it well below the non-tourism average (15.8).tourism, labour market, gender discrimination

    Education and Gender Wage Differentials in Portugal: What Can We Learn From an Age Cohort Analysis?

    Deep changes characterize the evolution of the Portuguese labor market concerning the average schooling of workers, particularly since the 1980s. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the consequences of those changes in the gender wage gap. In particular, we analyze and compare the way that this process has evolved in the groups of young workers and older workers. Our findings suggest that the major part of the pay gap refers to employer discrimination practices for both age group cohorts: in the case of the younger workers, discrimination plays an increasing role in explaining the wage gap whereas for the older workers discrimination remains stable overtime. Furthermore, the attributes related to the characteristics of jobs are the major sources of the explained pay gap. In particular, the different way men and women are distributed among the sectors of industry is the main reason of the gap for both cohorts.Labor market; discrimination; salary wage differentials

    The Gender Wage Gap in Portugal: Recent Evolution and Decomposition

    Using data from the Personnel Records (Quadros de Pessoal) for the period 1985-2000, we analyse the gender wage gap in Portugal. We estimate wage discrimination and endowment differentials using four decomposition methods. Our main concern is to analyse the key factors that lie behind the persistent gender pay gap despite the deep changes that characterise the recent evolution of the Portuguese labour market and the high female participation rate that exists in the country. Moreover, using the Neumark methodology, we discuss the relative contribution of different factors in explaining the gender pay gap. The results suggest that, in accordance with previous international research, the measured discrimination differential dominates the estimated endowment differential. Over time, a relevant discrimination gap persisted and it didn’t show any tendency to decrease. Results are also consistent in showing that the most important difference in attributes to explain the gender pay gap is the way how males and females are distributed by sector of industry. As to human capital variables, their relative importance to the explanation of the gender pay gap has reduced sharply, particularly along the 90’s.Labour market; discrimination; wage differential; gender

    O MunicĂ­pio de Braga auscultou os proprietĂĄrios de terrenos abrangidos pela UOPG nÂș 3 prevista no PDM de Braga, localizada em Pitancinhos (freguesias de AdaĂșfe e Palmeira, Braga), com vista Ă  definição de uma eventual unidade de execução. Neste Ăąmbito, a Kwadrum S.A., proprietĂĄria de parte significativa dos referidos terrenos, pretendeu avaliar a exequibilidade da sua proposta de ampliação do ‘complexo DST’, no que concerne a eventuais condicionantes arqueolĂłgicas. Na ĂĄrea da UOPG acima referenciada, de acordo com o PDM, estĂŁo delimitadas duas zonas de proteção a dois sĂ­tios arqueolĂłgicos: “A01/011-Habitat Romano Indeterminado” e “A31/019-Quinta de SĂŁo Tiago – Romano Indeterminado”, reportando-se o presente relatĂłrio aos trabalhos realizados na ĂĄrea do primeiro

    O presente relatĂłrio reporta-se aos trabalhos arqueolĂłgicos de sondagens preliminares realizadas no Lote X1 da Rua AmĂ©rico Barbosa, em Braga, determinadas pela pretensĂŁo de construção de um novo edifĂ­cio no referido terreno. O terreno para onde estĂĄ projetada a edificação da nova estrutura localiza-se numa zona urbana inscrita no Plano Diretor do MunicĂ­pio de Braga como arqueologicamente condicionada, designadamente por se referenciar nas proximidades o achado de elementos arqueolĂłgicos de Ă©poca romana e por a documentação medieval registar para aĂ­ a existĂȘncia da chamada “villa Infidias” (Costa, 1965; Fontes, 1993; Oliveira, 1979). A pretensĂŁo foi condicionada Ă  execução de trabalhos arqueolĂłgicos prĂ©vios de sondagens (Notificação do MunicĂ­pio de Braga/DMUOP – OfĂ­cio N.Âș: 2469/2019, de 31/01/2019), tendo a Unidade de Arqueologia da Universidade do Minho sido solicitada pelo promotor a realizar os trabalhos arqueolĂłgicos prĂ©vios considerados necessĂĄrios, cujo Plano de Trabalhos ArqueolĂłgicos (PATA) apresentado em março do presente ano foi devidamente aprovado (DRCN – OfĂ­cio n.Âș S-2019/491295 (C.S:1349601), de 13/05/2019)
