Abstract
This article aims to identify wage inequalities and the effect of gender discrimination in the acceleration (2004-2008) and economic deceleration phases (2011-2014) in Brazil. Based on the data from the PNAD, the counterfactual decomposition of income is performed, and the results show a reduction in the income gap between men and women between 2004 and 2014, however, the wage differences and discrimination against women persist and occur independently of the economic performance of the country. In the stage of economic acceleration to wage divergences and discrimination against women they are resurgence; the wage convergence and reduction of discrimination against women are evidenced in the economic slowdown. Among white workers, economic discrimination prevails, compared to non-white workers, with a sharp reduction in skin color discrimination in the period of slowdown in economic growth in the country.
