Abstract: This document outlines a series of works developed over several decades - from the original and independent works of Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) - with the aim of facilitating the comprehension of the technique for wage decomposition and its methodological improvements and applications over time. Similarly, the analyzed applications serve as a guide for the development of work related to the estimation of wage gaps between groups of individuals and their causes.

De igual manera, las aplicaciones analizadas sirven de guía para el desarrollo de trabajos relacionados con la estimación de brechas salariales entre grupos de individuos y sus causas.
