Employment Policy in Latin America
In every country, macroeconomic growth is filtered down to individuals
through their employment. But the performance of Latin America’s
labor markets over the last decade is now acknowledged to have
been disappointing, especially given the hopes that compliance
with the reform policies of the Washington Consensus had generated.
This course will explore the reasons for this poor performance
from the perspective of employment policy and its links to
issues of poverty and income distribution.
