| description | In Mexico after 1980, wages and salaries stagnated while returns to capital increased. This article analyzes the causes of this phenomenon during the 1980-2000. It suggests that the opening to foreign trade ought to have constituted a considerable force for raising wages and diminishing profits. The existence of an unlimited labor supply, however, impeded the rise in incomes that the opening to foreign trade would otherwise have brought about and transformed the rise in productivity resulting from technological modernization into, mainly, increasing returns on capital. Also suggests that the expansion of the qualified workforce, which is seen across all sectors, is not a consequence of generalized technological advance raising demand for more highly qualified workers, but merely reflects changes that have taken place on the labor supply side itself. |

En México a partir de 1980 los salarios se estancaron y las retribuciones al capital aumentaron. Analizamos las causas de dicho fenómeno para el período 1980-2000, se plantea que la apertura comercial ha debido constituir una considerable fuerza para elevar los salarios y disminuir las ganancias. Sin embargo, la existencia de una oferta ilimitada de mano de obra frenó el aumento de los salarios provenientes de la apertura comercial y transformó las ganancias en productividad inducidas por el avance tecnológico, principalmente en aumentos en la rentabilidad del capital. Se sugiere, además, que el incremento en el empleo calificado manifiesto en todos los sectores, no obedece a un cambio tecnológico generalizado que eleve la demanda de trabajo más calificado, sino mas bien éste se origina en los cambios ocurridos en la composición de la oferta de trabajo.
