Abstract
Este artículo persigue como principal objetivo ofrecer un
primer análisis provisional de las diferencias salariales entre
mujeres y hombres en España entre c. 1850 y 1975. Se trata
de poner en orden los datos disponibles, analizarlos conjuntamente
desde una perspectiva crítica y avanzar algunas ideas
sobre el comportamiento histórico de los salarios por sexo. La
evidencia cuantitativa disponible hasta el momento permite
concluir tres ideas principales. Primera, que las estadísticas oficiales
han colocado a las mujeres en un lugar subordinado que
no se corresponde con su contribución al sistema productivo.
Segunda, que el salario medio femenino ha sido históricamente
inferior al masculino y las diferencias salariales se mantuvieron
bastante estables en el periodo analizado. Tercera, que las
diferencias salariales por sexo han ido acompañadas de segregación
ocupacional por industrias y por categorías profesionales.
Los resultados, aunque incompletos y sesgados, servirán
para abrir el debate sobre esta cuestión e impulsar nuevas
investigaciones que avancen en esta dirección. En cualquier
caso, este artículo pretende poner en valor el trabajo de la mujer
en la economía española desde una perspectiva histórica.
The main aim of this paper is to show some provisional evidences for male-female wage disparity in the Spanish labour market from c. 1850 to 1975. The goal is to sort the available data, to analyse them all together from a critical perspective and to put forward some ideas on the historical behaviour of gender wage gap. The quantitative evidence provided leads to three main ideas. First, official records have placed women in a subordinate position that does not correspond to their contribution to the production system. Second, female wages have been historically lower than male wages and wage differentials by sex remained fairly stable in Spain in the period under study. Third, the gender wage gap has been traditionally accompanied by occupational segregation by industry and by occupational categories. These findings, although incompletes and biased, serve to start a debate on this topic, and to promote new research in this field. In any case, this article aims to recognise women´s labour force in the Spanish economy from a historical perspective.
