Resumen:
During the period 2004 to 2014, as Argentina was recovering from one of its most important economic crisis, there was an important reduction of the education wage premium. Among the reasons for this behavior we find out that the increase in the minimum wage played an important role. However, while the average wage premium fell during the period here analyzed, there was an increase in the dispersion of wages, especially for informal workers. In this last regards, the relative minimum wage appears to have also influenced.
