Mercado de trabajo y trayectorias laborales en contextos de pobreza. Desafíos para pensar la política social

Abstract

El presente artículo analiza las principales características del mercado de trabajo en Argentina desde las recientes transformaciones neoliberales y específicamente tras la caída del régimen de Convertibilidad con el objetivo de considerar sus efectos diferenciales sobre los hogares de menores recursos. A partir de este diagnóstico se propone reflexionar sobre los desafíos que suponen las características de la fuerza de trabajo presente en las familias pobres, para el diseño e implementación de la política social de empleo y sostenimiento de ingresos.

Recent research on the labor market in Argentina highlights the positive effects of the recovery phase and initiated economic growth from 2003 to 2009. The specific literature on the subject point emphasizes the context of overall economic recovery after the crisis and devaluation of 2001-2002, both in terms of growth in economic activity, measured from GDP growth, as the conditions in the labor market due to the sustained recovery in employment levels and progressive restructuring of labor income. In this phase of economic expansion, there was a reduction in labor costs. This paper analyzes the main features of the labor market in Argentina since the recent neoliberal transformations and specifically after the collapse of the Convertibility regime in order to consider their differential effects on low-income households. From this analysis it intends to reflect on the challenges of the features of the present workforce in poor families, for the design and implementation of social policy and employment income support.
