  • When having a job is not enough

    Kirsten Sehnbruch, Mauricio Apablaza et al.ARTICLEOxford Development Studies2026

    In developing countries, governments are rightly concerned with generating enough jobs. However, focusing solely on the quantity delivers a partial picture, as socioeconomic sustainability and productivity also depend on job quality. This paper shows that although Egypt has experienced reasonable economic growth between 1998 and 2018, labour force participation declined and job quality appears to have worsened. Based on several Latin American cas…

  • Regional inequality in multidimensional quality of employment

    Open AccessMauricio Apablaza, Kirsten Sehnbruch et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2022Citada por: 3Referências: 15

    This paper proposes a multidimensional synthetic index for measuring the quality of employment using the Alkire-Foster method. The results generated by this index highlight important differences between Chile's regions, but also a process of convergence, which has been mostly driven by regulatory changes and public policy rather than economic growth. The paper shows how much a synthetic index can contribute to regional analysis and how it can inf…

  • The Quality of Employment (QoE) in nine Latin American countries

    Open AccessKirsten Sehnbruch, P Gonzalez et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2019Citada por: 26Referências: 13

    This paper proposes a methodology for measuring the quality of employment from a multidimensional and public policy perspective in Latin American developing countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay) using household and labour force survey data from 2015. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the QoE can be measured using a multidimensional methodology that can inform policy ma…

  • Blood group O alleles in Native Americans

    Open AccessBenito Estrada‐Mena, Francisco Javier Estrada-Mena et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2010Citada por: 5Referências: 62

    All major ABO blood alleles are found in most populations worldwide, whereas the majority of Native Americans are nearly exclusively in the O group. O allele molecular characterization could aid in elucidating the possible causes of group O predominance in Native American populations. In this work, we studied exon 6 and 7 sequence diversity in 180 O blood group individuals from four different Mesoamerican populations. Additionally, a comparative …
