There is a widespread perception that the structural reforms implemented in Latin America in the 1990s have failed to spur employment growth. The 2003 edition of "Economic and Social Progress in Latin America" investigates the reasons for this disappointing outcome.
There is a widespread perception that the structural reforms implemented in Latin America in the 1990s have failed to spur employment growth. This perception is fuelled by rising unemployment, slow wage growth, rising wage inequalities and a heightened sense of economic insecurity. This edition of "Economic and Social Progress in Latin America" investigates whether this disappointing outcome can be explained by an abnormal adjustment to rapid changes in goods and capital markets, increased female participation in the workplace, technological change and secular changes in the sector composition of output. In particular, the book examines whether there are important demands for change that are being thwarted by inappropriate institutions and rigidities. The report documents unemployment and underemployment, employment creation and destruction, productivity growth, and the wage level and inequality. It includes a CD-ROM with data on labour markets in the region.
