Work in XXI Century Latin America: Options, Challenges and Promises I

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

Our panels will provide an examination of the region’s emerging patterns of accumulation and their implications for development policies and employment. In the first panel our presentations will address broad conceptual issues in the field of political economy and development as they apply to studies in employment and work. Our overall objective is to address the nature of the evolving nexus between economic growth and the quantity and quality of jobs created to understand why often incorporation into labour markets no longer guarantees a durable reduction of poverty and inequality in a way that ensures better social outcomes.
