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.

Este documento analiza los factores y mecanismos que han afectado la evolución de la desigualdad en México, se demuestra que la desigualdad educativa explica la mayor parte de la variación en la desigualdad de ingresos. La contribución de la desigualdad educativa a la desigualdad de ingresos en México es la segunda más alta en Latinoamérica. El incremento en la desigualdad de ingresos no parece ser el resultado de un deterioro en la distribución de la educación, a pesar de que el perfil de ingreso, el cual está relacionado con la tasa de retornos a la educación se ha vuelto más pronunciado.   El Colegio de México, A.C. 2004-07-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://estudioseconomicos.colmex.mx/index.php/economicos/article/view/172 10.24201/ee.v19i2.172 Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México; 38-vol. 19, no. 2, july-december, 2004; 211-284 Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México; 38-vol. 19, núm. 2, julio-diciembre, 2004; 211-284 0186-7202 0188-6916 eng https://estudioseconomicos.colmex.mx/index.php/economicos/article/view/172/174 Copyright (c) 2018 Estudios Económicos
