Revisao sistematica: efeitos das habilidades sobre os rendimentos no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The present study aims to conduct a systematic review analysis on the theme of workers' skills in the labor market, with an emphasis on analyzing gender disparities. The motivation behind this work is to explore a topic that is widely discussed worldwide but still lacks sufficient studies in Brazil. For this, the study seeks to systematically investigate and map studies that involve variables related to skills, such as education level, professional experience, training, and earnings. Through the systematic review method, the state of the art of the literature on prominent skills is presented. In general terms, the main estimation methods used are personality tests and regression models, and the most active authors in the field are Pablo Lavado, Gustavo Yamada, Tiiu Paas, and Aparna Mitra. Based on the results, it was shown that cognitive and non-cognitive skills are important for career development. However, it is not possible to conclude that these directly influence gender wage disparities. In this regard, future studies may be motivated to understand how skills can promote gender equity in the labor market.
