| Résumé: | Social gender inequality is developed throughout the individual’s life cycle. The convergence of three factors contributes to this phenomenon; a) a subtle priority for economic investment by families in male children; b) the less significant return to human capital for women; c) marital endogamy mediated by social origin. It was seen that the poor Brazilian woman is triply penalized in this context, because besides obtaining the lowest return to human capital among all social groups, and for their lack of origin of resources, their possibility of mobility via marital union is diminished by the pattern of endogamy by social class existing in Brazil. |
