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
