_Source_ : Authors’ calculations based on data from the Socioeconomic Database for Latin America and the Caribbean, World Bank and Center for Distributive, Labor and Social Studies of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (CEDLAS) (http://sedlac.econo.unlp.edu.ar/eng). _Note_ : Nominal hourly wages are converted into real terms using national consumer price index deflators and expressed in dollars using 2005 purchasing power parity. The 1st and 99th percentiles of real hourly wages in each country-year were trimmed. If a specific country did not have information available for a particular year, a simple interpolation was applied. The sample was restricted to individuals between ages 18 and 65 years.
