Well-Being, Time Use, and Women's Empowerment after Couple Separation
Although many studies have assessed the effects of union dissolution on access to economic resources, few have analyzed changes in other domains of women’s quality of life that might be affected when couple separation occurs in households with small children. This study analyzes the effects of union dissolution on economic and subjective well-being, time use and household workload, empowerment, and attitudes toward gender norms among custodial mo…
Ideology and Economist's Views on Inequality and Discrimination
This paper investigates how the ideological profiles of Uruguayan economists relate to their opinions regarding inequality and discrimination. Based on survey data, we explore the links between three ideological dimensions—political orientation, sexist attitudes (benevolent and hostile), and pro‐market beliefs—and their opinions. We find that right‐wing political ideology, hostile sexism, and pro‐market attitudes are consistently associated with …
How much are fathers asked to contribute when children live with low-income mothers? New evidence from Colombia, Finland, Peru, Uruguay, and the United States
This article provides new exploratory information on child support amounts expected for non-resident fathers of children living with low-income, unemployed mothers in Colombia, Finland, Peru, the United States, and Uruguay. Using vignette data obtained through extensive interviews with judicial and social service personnel and child support experts, we investigated whether child support is expected and its amount when single mothers are unemploye…
The Effect of Childbirth on Women’s Formal Labour Market Trajectories
The motherhood penalty for developed countries is well-established in the economic literature. Childbirth intensifies the traditional gender roles that affect paid and unpaid work and contributes to the persistence of the gender labour gap. However, little is known about this phenomenon for developing contexts. This paper investigates the motherhood effects on women’s formal employment and wage trajectories in Uruguay. We document significant and…
Gender Differences in Opinions about Market Solutions and Government Interventions
This article explores the differences in views between men and women Uruguayan economists regarding their opinions about market solutions and government interventions. In line with international evidence, the support for more market-oriented statements is lower among women than men. The study examines the role of age, family background, exposure to economic discussions (proxied by postgraduate education, reading of blogs and press, and academic e…
Consensos, disensos e ideología
This article studies the consensus among economists in Uruguay regarding aset of economic propositions. The findings indicate that the levels of consensus in Uruguay are comparatively lower than in other countries, although thelevels of dissensus are also lower, resulting in a modest level of agreementoverall. The propositions related to discrimination and, to a lesser extent, environmental issues demonstrate the highest levels of agreement. Ther…
Short- and Medium-Term Effects of Parental Separation on Children's Well-Being
There is limited quantitative research on the effect of parental union dissolution on children's well-being in developing countries. We use three waves of an Uruguayan longitudinal study that follows a cohort of first graders at public primary schools in 2004 to study the short-term (at age 13) and medium-term (at age 19) effects of parental separation on school attendance, grade repetition, completed years of schooling, socioemotional status, ti…

Attitudes Toward Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
We analyze individual and country factors that explain attitudes toward intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in Latin America and the Caribbean. Most patterns at individual level are similar to the international ones: for example, approval of IPVAW is higher among women and people in rural areas or in disadvantaged socio-economic situations. The most novel contribution of our work is the study of the variables at country level: approva…
Inequality and fiscal policies in Uruguay by race
The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of fiscal policy by race, disaggregating to consider Uruguayans with primarily European, African and indigenous ancestry. We perform an incidence analysis, an estimation of the effect of fiscal policy on the poverty exit rate and an assessment of the impact on the average ethno-racial gaps. The findings support the idea that fiscal policy reduces (but does not eliminate) ethnic gaps. This result is l…
Producción del hogar por edad y sexo
The aim of this paper is to present time profiles of home production and its consumption by sex and age for Uruguay. For this, we apply an extension of the methodology National Transfer Accounts, which implies estimating time spent in home production and then valuing it. The activities considered correspond to those that can be transferred to a third party, and for their valuation we use the replacement cost method. The data come from the Time Us…
Public Transfers and the Poverty of Children and the Elderly in Uruguay
In Uruguay, public direct transfers reduce poverty for society as a whole. Poverty affects mostly children, even after the recent period of fall in poverty. The aim of this article is to analyze whether the reduction in poverty benefits a particular age group over others or if it affects all groups equally. The methodological strategy consists in the estimation of the contribution of public direct transfers to the poverty exit rate and its decomp…
Is low fertility really a problem? Population aging, dependency, and consumption
Longer lives and fertility far below the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman are leading to rapid population aging in many countries. Many observers are concerned that aging will adversely affect public finances and standards of living. Analysis of newly available National Transfer Accounts data for 40 countries shows that fertility well above replacement would typically be most beneficial for government budgets. However, fertility near rep…
Social Spending, Taxes and Income Redistribution in Uruguay
How much redistribution does Uruguay accomplish through social spending and taxes? How progressive are revenue collection and social spending? A standard fiscal incidence analysis shows that Uruguay achieves a nontrivial reduction in inequality and poverty when all taxes and transfers are combined. In comparison with five other countries in Latin America, it ranks first (poverty reduction) and second (inequality reduction), and first in terms of …
Racial Inequality in the Uruguayan Labor Market
Latin America is a region of sharp ethnic inequalities. Uruguay has usually been considered an exception to this pattern, although no data were available to confirm this assumption until recently. This article uses the Household Survey of 2006 to analyze the wage gap between Afro-descendants and whites through OLS equations, decompositions, and quantile regressions. The analysis finds that discrimination explains approximately 50 percent of the r…
Multinational Corporations, Business Groups, and Economic Nationalism
This article examines the misrepresentation of American beef in the British market between c. 1890 and c. 1913. We examine the complaints voiced by British consumers, producers, and retailers and we discuss the response of the British government and the United States Department of Agriculture. A new dataset is employed to calculate the price premiums that could be earned from the misrepresentation of beef according to geographic origin. While con…
Población afrodescendiente y desigualdades étnico-raciales en Uruguay
Uruguay 1998-2002
Following a period of growth in the 1990s, Uruguay experienced a 17.5% fall in output between 1998 and 2002. This study sets out to analyse the distribution of income in that period of crisis and to ascertain which population groups were worst affected. The results indicate that a tendency towards income concentration which had begun in the mid- 1990s became more pronounced. Furthermore, analysis of different population groups by sociodemographic…
Un estudio de los determinantes del divorcio en Uruguay
In spite of an early legislation on divorce in Uruguay, the total number of divorces has increased significantly since the second half of the 1980’s. The purpose of this work is to identify the characteristics of women and their spouses associated with a larger risk of divorce, using the Survey of Familiar Situations collected in 2001. The results of survival analysis are in line with theoretical implications: the presence of children and religio…
Impacto del desempleo sobre el salario
El impacto de la desocupaci6n sobre el bienestar de los trabajadores concita especial atenci6n en Uruguay, en particular a partir del aumento de la tasa de desempleo registrado en la segunda mitad de los aios '90 (de 8,5 % promedio en 1988/94 a 11 % en 1995/99). Este crecimiento tiene lugar en un contexto de mayor incidencia de los despidos, las suspensiones del trabajo y los cierres de establecimientos, procesos indicativos de cambios en la dema…
