Resumen:
The high rhythm of economic growth experienced by Latin America between 2003 and 2008 has had a positive impact on social and labor market indicators. This has become evident through the dynamic creation of employment, the reduction of unemployment and the fall of income inequality and poverty. However, even in this positive context the region continues to exhibit important shortcomings in the labor market. The most evident are high levels of unemployment, precariousness and informality. Along with this, Latin America is still one of the most unequal regions in the world.
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of labor market and income inequality dynamics in Latin America in the new millennium. In particular, it focuses on a distinctive feature of labor markets in the region: the phenomenon of labor informality, by studying its characteristics and distributive impacts.
