Technological change and employment in Latin America
The debate about what kind of impact current technological changes will have on employment is marked by a high degree of uncertainty, as is clear from the existence of widely differing estimates of the possible extent of job destruction. This article looks at various contributions to the analysis of how labour markets may be restructured and different projections of job destruction, job creation and changes in the nature of employment. A comparat…
Aspects of recent developments in the latin american and caribbean labour markets
This article presents three stylized facts that characterized the evolution of labour markets in Latin America and the Caribbean in the period 2003-2012 and represented breaks from previous trends. It is argued that these changes have to do with the economic and production context and the political and institutional framework. We show how the magnitude and patterns of economic growth impact on the nature of job creation, especially on shifts with…
Youth employment
Youth employment problems affect not only the welfare of young people themselves but also some key elements of socio-economic development in general. This article examines the circumstances, origins and consequences of these problems and reviews the statistical information available on recent trends in youth employment variables. The figures show that the occupational position of young people has deteriorated in absolute terms along with labour m…
Tertiary sector employment in Latin America
In the 1990s, around 90% of all new jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean arose in the tertiary sector. This article reviews the main theories about the expansion of this kind of employment, compares the recent evolution of the Latin American tertiary sector with global trends, and analyses the characteristics of the employment offered in the various branches making up the sector, as well as its underlying dynamics. The growth of employment in …
Employment in Latin America
This article analyses labour market trends in Latin America and the Caribbean during the 1990s and suggests that employment should form the basis of a social policy strategy for the region. It begins with an analysis of the expectations generated with respect to the labour market by the reform process carried out in the region, after which it presents an overview of what has actually happened in terms of rates of participation, generation of empl…
Employment trends in Latin America and the Caribbean during the 1990s
The economic reforms applied in the region during the 1980s and 1990s created expectations, for which there was theoretical justification, of strong job creation and greater equity in the labour market. This article analyses developments in the quantity and characteristics of employment during the 1990s. It concludes that today’s labour market problems are due to insufficient economic growth and to less intensive use of labour, resulting mainly f…
Non-agricultural rural employment in Central America
Non-agricultural rural employment accounts for an increasing proportion of total rural employment in Latin America. Its potential for stimulating rural development has been noted, but it has also been analysed as a focal point of poverty. This article considers the magnitude and composition of this employment in some of the Central American countries and examines the conditions under which nonagricultural activities may help to improve rural empl…
