Resumen
In recent years, the disabled wage gap between persons with disabilities(PwD) and those without disabilities (PwoD) has widened considerably. However, one of the prime reasons for creating social enterprise is that they include in their goals employ and include vulnerable groups, but such firms are in favor of PwD in relation to wage or not? The main aim of this article is to analyze whether wage discrimination exists between PwD employed by social enterprises (SE) and those employed by capitalist enterprises (CE). Weused microdata from the Continuous Sample of Work Lives (CSWL) for Spain. In terms of the various statistical and econometric methods employed in thestudy, we used Pearson’s X2 test, and quantile regression and Oaxaca-Blinderwage decomposition.Although wages for persons with disabilities are lower in socialenterprises than in capitalist enterprises, this does not occur in everyincome distribution percentile. If we also consider employees with similar socio-occupational profiles, SE employees earn more than CE employees. However, the same wage gap exists in PwD employment as it does do in the Spanish labor market in terms of gender, age, level of education, skill level, type of contract, working hours, company size, and sector of activity, both in social and capitalist enterprises. Results of the study showed that not only, therefore, are SE more sensitive in terms of the labor inclusion of disabled people but they also pursue more positive PwD wage discrimination than CE.
