'... the relationship between employment growth and output growth
... is greatly affected by the functioning, efficiency and
institutional structure of the labor market.' - Joseph Stiglitz,
Chief Economist, World Bank Despite the resumption of economic
growth in most LAC countries since the late 1980s, improvements on
the employment/unemployment front have been sluggish at best, with
a few notable exceptions. In many countries, renewed growth in LAC
in the 1990s has so far failed to generate adequate new jobs in
place of those lost during the adjustment, and to restore wages to
pre-crisis levels. The focus of this book is on: * the performance
of labor markets in the LAC region since the beginning of
significant structural reforms most countries in the region have
undertaken; * the structure of labor markets, institutions, and
incentive structures; * the effects of that structure on
employment, earnings, income distribution, and poverty levels; *
the role of labor market institutions in labor market trends; * the
options for reform and the benefits of comprehensive labor reforms,
as evidenced inside and outside the region; * labor policy reforms
to improve in a sustainable way the employment/unemployment
outlook.
