Abstract
Gender based wage differentials is widely observed in the world labor markets. This paper studies the wage differences between men and women that works in the Mexican government using as a case of study the Mexican Secretariat of Foreign Affairs. Results from non-parametric statistical hypothesis test to compare two related samples suggest that male-female wage differentials are explained because of a high degree of vertical segregation, where men tend to occupy higher ranking and better paying positions than women.
