Gays and Lesbians in Brazil: decomposing inequalities along the wage distribution
DECOMPOSING INEQUALITIES ALONG THE WAGE DISTRIBUTION
Resumo
The aim of this article is to examine the causes of wage inequalities between
gays and lesbians and their heterosexual counterparts and the trajectory along the
wage distribution in Brazil. The wage decomposition with correction of selection
bias points to the greater wage advantage of gays, and the productive attributes and
the market (education and occupations) are the most relevant causes, however the
benefi t resulting from homoaff ective orientation is potentiated for lesbians. At the
lower wage levels, the lowest wage inequality between gays and lesbians and their
heterosexual counterparts is affi rmed, but the lower benefi t of homosexuality over
wages in Brazil.
