This article deals with the income differential between four demographic groups in Guatemala: indigenous women, indigenous men, non–indigenous women and non–indigenous men. Specifically, the non–observable component of the income differential, is analyzed in accordance with the Oaxaca–Blinder model, component has been identified as discrimination.
