ABSTRACT
The economic and social crisis caused by the COVID-19 has marked intense changes in the Argentine labor market, deepening the adverse effects of the "pre-pandemic crisis". The impacts in terms of wages and employment have been notable, however, this trend has not been homogeneous in the different regions of the country or by branches of activity. To contribute to a characterization of labor income dynamics in Argentina, this research focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the regional wage inequality of private registered employees, also considering the contribution of the sectoral disparities within each region. For the measurement and analysis, we will use the Theil statistical Index. This investigation is carried out within the framework of the PISAC-COVID-19-00085 Project "Comparative Regional Research Program: Recent changes in the Argentine social structure: work, income and social inequality in times of pandemic and post-pandemic".
