The impact of digital technology on worker tasks: Do labor policies matter
Desigualdades socioeconômicas no local da morte: Evidência para a Europa com base nos dados do SHARE
O local de morte é considerado como um indicador de qualidade do fim de vida e pode ter consequências para a organização dos cuidados recebidos na última etapa da vida. Vários são os fatores que podem influenciar no local da morte de um indivíduo, dentre eles destacamos os fatores socioeconômicos. O objetivo da investigação é explorar a existência de desigualdades relacionadas com o local de morte para a população europeia com mais de 50 anos. Os…
Socioeconomic inequalities at the place of death: Evidence for Europe based on SHARE data
The place of death is considered an indicator of the quality of the end of life and can have consequences for the organization of the care received in the last stage of life. Many factors can influence the place of death of individuals, including socioeconomic factors. This research aims to explore the inequalities related to the place of death for the European population aged over 50 years. The data for this analysis were collected from the Surv…
Women in paid employment: A role for public policies and social norms in Guatemala
With only 32% of women in the labor market, Guatemala has one of the lowest rates of female labor force participation (FLFP) in the Latin America and Caribbean region and in the world. We explore information from different micro data sets, including the most recent population censuses (2002 and 2018) to assess the drivers of recent progress. Between 2002 and 2018, FLFP increased from an average of 26% to 32% nationwide. This increase was partly e…
Precarization or Protection? The Role of Trade and Labour Policies on Informality
Several episodes of market-oriented reforms in developing countries have been accompanied by a significant rise in work outside of the formal economy. This paper investigates whether the impact of trade on formal employment is mediated by the strength of labour regulations. We rely on data from the Brazilian Census that provides information on workers' demographics and employment, including job formality status. Our estimation strategy exploits q…
Enforcement of labor regulations and job flows: Evidence from Brazilian cities
The frequency of labor inspections in Brazil increased in the late 1990s. In the years that followed, between 2003 and 2007, formal employment expanded significantly in the country. This paper examines whether these city-level changes in labor inspections could be a significant factor contributing to the increase in the number of formal labor contracts at the city level. We exploit unique administrative data on formal employment on different indi…
Does the Adoption of Complex Software Impact Employment Composition and the Skill Content of Occupations: Evidence from Chilean Firms
A major concern with the rapid spread of technology is that it replaces some jobs, displacing workers. However, technology may raise firm productivity, generating more jobs. The paper contributes to this debate by exploiting a novel panel data set for Chilean firms in all sectors between 2007 and 2013. While previous studies examine the impacts of automation on the use of routine tasks by middle-educated workers. this study focuses on a measure o…
