Trade liberalisation in Brazil: Creating or exporting jobs?

Journal of Development Studies, 2000, vol. 36, issue 3, 78-99

Abstract: Using the growth accounting and factor content approaches, this article looks at the impact of trade liberalisation on the structure and level of employment in Brazil over the 1990-97 period. The results support the argument that trade liberalisation in developing countries have a negative short-term impact on employment — relatively small in Brazil's case - which tends to be outweighed, in the long run, by a more labour-intensive output mix.
