This study based on multiple correspondence analysis applied to data from the Household Integrated Sample Survey in two different periods, 2007 and 2014, is aimed at studying the Colombian labour marketsegmentation by gender using social perceptual maps that facilitate the comparison of thegeneral structure of the markets and their evolution over time. The results support the thesisof labour market segmentation, with clear differences in wages and in sectors and conditionsof employment, as well as a delay in the evolution of the women labour market.
