 Informalidad laboral en la fabricación de ropa en Argentina entre 2003-2018: ¿Qué aporta la encuesta permanente de hogares?Labour informality in the manufacture of clothing in Argentina between 2003-2018: What does the permanent household survey contribute?Gustavo Ludmer () and Federico Favata () Estudios Economicos, 2020, vol. 037 (Nueva Serie), issue 74, 105-126 Abstract: Globally, the manufacture of clothing is characterized by adverse working condi-tions suffered by its workers. With a quantitative methodological approach, this article analyzes the relationship between the observable attributes of both the in-dividual and the workplace and the labor informality of the sector in Argentina between 2003 and 2018. Using microdata from the Permanent Household Survey, an Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition was carried out to determine the observable determinants of the problem. The results obtained suggest that: i) workers in the sector are more likely to be informal than the rest of those employed in Argentina; ii) this difference is mainly explained by the greater relative presence of workers and jobs with attributes usually penalized in the labor market; and, iii) by an intrin-sic penalty of the sector, which increases the probability of being informal, even controlling for such attributes Keywords: costureros; informalidad laboral; Oaxaca-Blinder; sewing workers; labor informality; Oaxaca-Blinder (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:uns:esteco:v:37:y:2020:i:74:p:105-126 Access Statistics for this article More articles in Estudios Economicos from Universidad Nacional del Sur, Departamento de Economia Contact information at EDIRC. |
