Labour markets, inequality and poverty

The previous chapter examined the broad trends and cyclical fluctuations that have characterized the subregion’s macroeconomic performance. This analysis will now be supplemented by a review of the evolution of the main labour market indicators and their relationship to inequality and poverty. The emphasis will be on the comparative analysis of both the demographic evolution of the subregion’s countries and their performance in terms of jobs, wages and labour productivity. The starting point for this analysis is the belief that the evolution of the labour market, and particularly its success in creating decent, well-paid jobs with social protection, is a core element in the growth dynamic of the region as it pursues robust development with equality.
