Abstract
La region de Magallanes es definida Zona Extrema, de manera tal que sus habitantes puedan acceder a mejores condiciones de desarrollo, dado que estas normalmente surgen y se quedan en el centro geografico de Chile. Asi, en este territorio los salarios en promedio son mayores a los del pais aun cuando siguen siendo menores que en la region Metropolitana. En este trabajo se analiza la estructura productiva, ocupacional y los ingresos laborales de ambas regiones. Se estiman funciones salariales de hombres y mujeres, para luego calcular brechas regionales de salarios por genero. Las principales conclusiones son que en Magallanes hay una menor dotacion de factores, lo que explicaria los bajos salarios de las mujeres, sin embargo, en varones la brecha se anula. Ademas, se estima que el rendimiento de los factores en mujeres de Magallanes tambien es inferior, lo que probablemente ocurre porque laboran en sectores con menor dinamismo relativo. Abstract The Magallanes region has been designated "Extreme Zone" status, ensuring residents have access to better development conditions which generally emerge and remain in the geographical centre of Chile. Thus, in this territory, average wages are higher than the rest of the country, although still below those of the Metropolitan region. This study analyzes the production and occupational structure, as well as earned income of both regions. The salary functions of men and women are estimated, in order to calculate regional wage gaps according to gender. The main conclusions are the existence of a lower factor endowment in Magallanes, which would account for lower women's salaries. Nevertheless, this gap is not present in the case of men's wages; furthermore, women's factor performance in Magallanes is also estimated to be inferior, which probably occurs because they tend to work in sectors with a lower relative dynamism.
