Abstract:
We study the trajectory of the gender gap over time and over the life cycle, using a matched employer-employee data from the formal labour market in Brazil. We document the evolution of participation and earnings for both males and females during the period 1994-2015 and the gender earnings gap throughout the life cycle for different birth cohorts.
