Nouveau régime commercial et inégalités salariales en Amérique latine

Thierry Deffarges

Revue Tiers Monde, 2002, vol. 43, issue 169, 113-136

Abstract: [eng] Thierry Defarges — The new trade regime and wage disparities in Latin America. . This article analyses the causalities between external liberalisation and the increase of wage disparities in Latin America during the 1990s. The direct effects of the international insertion of these countries on relative wage variations exist, but the main force results from the indirect effects of external liberalisation. Exposure to international competition happens to favour a qualified workforce, thus inducing an asymmetric wages adjustment that negatively affects unqualified labour. The dynamics of relative wages therefore simultaneously expresses the improvements in productive efficiency and cost-effects.
