Abstract

El artículo examina los salarios relativos de las mujeres inmigrantes en España mediante la Encuesta de Estructura Salarial a través de una doble comparación con los hombres inmigrantes y las mujeres nativas. El análisis empírico muestra que las mujeres inmigrantes presentan desventajas salariales significativas frente a ambos colectivos. Los resultados de los ejercicios de descomposición de estas diferencias salariales permiten constatar que mientras que una parte importante de la desventaja salarial frente a los varones inmigrantes no resulta explicada por las diferencias en dotaciones de características productivas, por el contrario, la brecha salarial frente a las mujeres nativas es explicada en buena medida por este elemento. En consecuencia, la evidencia obtenida para España no concuerda plenamente con la hipótesis de la existencia de una doble penalización salarial para las mujeres inmigrantes
