Abstract

ARAKAKI, Agustín; GRANA, Juan M.; KENNEDY, Damián  and  SANCHEZ, Matías A.. THE ARGENTINE LABOR MARKET IN THE POST-CONVERTIBILITY PERIOD (2003- 2015): BETWEEN THE NEOLIBERAL CRISIS AND THE STRUCTURAL LIMITS OF THE ECONOMY. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.47, pp.229-257. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v21n47a9.

The article proposes to study the evolution of the Argentine labor market in the post-convertibility period, as well as its main transformations. To do this, different variables are analyzed (employment, salary, employment relationship quality, and urban informal sector evolution), based on considering land rent and the productivity lag of the Argentine economy as the structural determinants of the accumulation process of Argentine capital. The results show a significant reversal of the trends that operated since the mid -1970s, particularly toward the 1990s, so that the latter period ended with substantially better levels. However, this recovery was stagnated in 2011-2012. From a long-term perspective, this shows a working population affected by a differentiation in their reproductive conditions, much deeper than those in the past.
