Resumo
The relation between teacher wages and their students’ performance is one of the great discussions in economics of education literature. However, international literature converges to the idea that teachers’ relative wages are important to attract good professionals to the teaching career. Given that, this study intends to evaluate the attractiveness of teachers’ wages in public schools. In order to accomplish that, the Oaxaca’s (1973) technique were applied to PNAD’s (National Household Sample Survey) data from 1995 to 2006 to estimate the gaps between public teacher wages and what they would receive if they worked in one of the comparison groups: other jobs in the public sector, teaching in private sector and other jobs in the private sector. In short, there are evidences that public teachers’ wages are more attractive to high school graduates than to college graduates – and the last ones are just the ones that should be attracted –, to women, to workers that live in the states of Tocantins, Rio de Janeiro and Acre, and to workers in the beginning of the career. With these results, we intend to contribute to the development of the teaching career wage policies beyond simple purposes of linear wage raises to all teachers.
