From the Consensus Reforms to Reforms for Protected and Inclusive Employment
Movilidad internacional de personas y protección social
El presente trabajo analiza el acceso a la protección social de los migrantes internacionales latinoamericanos desde una doble perspectiva. Por un lado, la de no discriminación en relación a los nativos de los países de destino y por otro, la de las políticas migratorias y de protección social en la medida que contribuyen a una mejor inserción social de los migrantes y sus familias. Se desarrolla en tres partes. La primera, identifica la asimetrí…

De la informalidad a la modernidad
Este trabajo busca recoger algunos aportes de estudios realizados por la OIT entre 1995 y 2001 sobre las regulaciones que afectan a las microempresas y al sector informal en varios países de la región. Se señala inicialmente que el consenso existente sobre la conveniencia de prestar atención al sector informal, tanto por su importancia en relación con el empleo como respecto a la pobreza, es limitado pues no existe una visión estratégica comparti…
Social stratification under tension in a globalized era
The objective of this paper is to explore the effects of globalization on the labour market and social stratification. It is generally held that globalization will bring about progress for nations and people. This, however, is far from clear, since the experience of almost two decades has been raising increasing doubts about the potential net gains and, particularly, the distribution of such gains. Clearly, there are winners and losers among both…
Labour costs and competitiveness in the Latin American manufacturing sector, 1990-1998
This article analyses the reduction of labour costs as a factor which helps to raise the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. It first reviews non-wage labour costs, both for workers with permanent contracts and those with only temporary contracts, or with no contracts at all, in order to show the differences that exist in non-wage labour costs according to the type of contract of the workers or their unregistered status, and the impact of …
Beyond Regulation
Legal and Economic Development
Towards Social Adjustment
Orthodox structural policy has tended to neglect labour policy or to treat labour market institutions and protective regulations as rigidities. This book argues that adjustment is more likely to improve labour market efficiency and income distribution. With the growth of informal and privatized production and flexible employment, new labour regulations, payment mechanisms and institutional safeguards are needed to ensure that the benefits of grow…
Policies for a heterogeneous informal sector in Latin America
Economic Development and Labor Markets Segmentation in the Latin American Periphery
Segmentation in the labor markets refers to the fact that a single homogeneous market for labor, as assumed by conventional theory, does not exist. Its definition varies according to different authors. This article will refer to the concept as it is used in the discussion of economic development in Latin America: that is, that created by the type of development which generates a segmentation of the productive structure and, in turn, of the labor …
From austerity measures to structural adjustment
The decade of rhe 1980s already has considerable experience of economic policies to cope with the crisis and its consequences, experience which should serve as a mandatory reference point for the formulation of new action strategies. This is what the authors do as they make a critical assessment of the policies pursued, as an introduction to their own proposal

The process of accumulation and the weakness of the protagonists
During the three decades leading up to the present crisis the growth of the product, employment and the level of investment in Latin America reached a very high rate, but the process of accumulation had two important defects, if compared to the United States in the period 1870-1910. First, its greater dependence on the exterior, both on direct foreign investment and on external financing and, second, the lesser relative importance of local privat…
Monetarism, employment and social stratification
Global monetarism and destruction of industry
In recent years there has been much discussion of the effect on manufacturing industry produced by the recent application of global monetarist policies. In the present article it is asserted that they have introduced an anti-industrial bias which has diminished the importance of the sector and, in some cases, has even destroyed a large part of its installed capacity
Changes in employment and the crisis
In several earlier works —PREALC (1981), Tokman (1982) and Garcia (1982)— the authors analysed and interpreted the main long-term trends of employment, underemployment and unemployment observed in Latin America
Wages and employment in international recessions
This article takes as its working hypothesis the postulation that while the international recession makes it necessary to effect internal adjustments involving a lower level of activity, there are various alternative ways of tackling the situation, these options being partly determined by the structural characteristics of the economy, but also depending on the set of policies applied
Unequal development and the absorption of labour. Latin America 1950-1980
Various studies carried outatCEPAL between 1950 and 1980, especially by Raúl Prebisch, have attempted to probe into the principal laetors influencing the absorption of labour in Latin America, with special emphasis on the rate of capital accumulation and economic growth, the type of technology used, the proportion of the labour force employed at low levels of productivity and, more recently, the consequences of the mechanisms of appropriation and…
The development strategy and employment in the 1980s
The productive absorption of the labour force has always been one of CEPAL’s top priorities, not only because it indicates a rise in the level of productivity but also because it serves as a basis for a more equitable distribution of the benefits of development

Competition between the informal and formal sectors in retailing
Informal-formal sector interrelationships
The essential object of this article is to put some order into the discussion of the informal sector. Since the ILO adopted the new term, there has been a spate of somewhat entangled discussion which has at least served to reanimate the debate on underdevelopment and give a better grasp of the relevant problems and solutions. The aim here is to study the limited but crucial question of the relations maintained by the informal sector with the rest…
