| Summary: | This research analyzes the phenomenon of wage and occupational polarization in the Mexican labor market during the period 2005-2017, based on a division of the labor market into formal and informal employment as well as gender. Through a decomposition by level of skills it is suggested that there is a process of incipient polarization in the formal market and a canonical process of polarization in the informal market. In the same way, the index DER corroborate an increase in the wage and occupational polarization in the period. Likewise, a breakdown of components shows that labor market segmentation, union weakness, size of establishments and labor discrimination are some of the main causes of wage and occupational polarization in Mexico. |
