Abstract
This paper analyses in detail the distribution of Brazilian wages in the
period of economic growth with income distribution. Brazil presents a high
structural heterogeneity that generates high wage inequality, and it is
shown that wage differences within occupational categories are greater than
wage differences between occupational categories. Higher GDP growth followed
by an incomes policy that raised low wages reduced wage differences
especially within occupational categories rather than wage differences
between occupational categories.
