Abstract: There are four generalized trends observed in Latin American labor markets in the 1990s: (1) slow growth in GDP per capita; (2) high rates of unemployment; (3) rising wage differentials associated to tertiary education; and (4) declining wage differentials associated to gender and increased female labor force participation.
