There is an extensive literature that shows that women are disadvantaged in the labor market, despite their greater presence and longer years of schooling than men. Therefore, it is still important to explore the gender pay gap. In this sense, this research seeks to analyze the net gender wage gap or that associated with discrimination, and whether it varies regionally and macro-regionally. This is because there is a gap in the literature regarding the regional approach to the gender wage gap. In addition, there are other reasons to do research in this field, especially to rethink public policies. A theoretical framework of the determinants of the gender wage gap is presented: human capital, discrimination, segmentation, segregation, glass ceiling and self-selection. From this theoretical framework, the main explanatory variables that support the econometric model are proposed. The methodology used to estimate the net wage gaps is based on a Mincer equation corrected by Heckman. Among our main results we find, firstly, that there is a gender wage gap associated with discrimination at the national level. Furthermore, we find that this gap varies spatially: the rural net gap is greater than the urban one. This gap also varies macro-regionally. Likewise, we present the fundamental characteristics of the gap, which allow us, in association with our theoretical framework, to provide policy suggestions and corresponding conclusions.
