Este trabajo analiza la asociación entre la segregación ocupacional de género y las modalidades de empleo en las microempresas colombianas, como un aporte al estudio de la desigualdad en el mercado laboral, entre hombres y mujeres, evaluado, por lo regular, desde la disparidad salarial. A través de estimaciones de datos panel de la Encuesta de Microestablecimientos 2012-2016 de Colombia, los hallazgos sugieren que, a diferencia de la población masculina, la femenina es menos empleada, primero, en los oficios industriales y comerciales, en comparación con los de servicios; y, segundo, en el trabajo remunerado, en comparación con el no remunerado.

This paper examines the association between occupational gender segregation and employment patterns, in Colombian micro-enterprises, as a contribution to the study of inequality in the labour market between men and women, generally evaluated from the wage gap. Using data estimates from the 2012-2016 Colombia Microestablishment Survey, the findings suggest that, unlike the male population, women are less employed in both industrial and commercial trades, in comparison with services; as in paid work, compared with unpaid work. Such differential treatment is higher in the industrial sector and in permanent or long-term recruitment.
