Book Description
Partiendo de la distinción entre desigualdades estructurales o históricas, legado de la modernización pasada, y desigualdades dinámicas, resultado del riesgo inherente a la modernización globalizada, este texto busca aproximarse a los procesos generadores de desigualdad en el mercado de trabajo en América Latina. Ámbito que en nuestra región está marcado por transformaciones importantes, ya que el empleo formal está perdiendo su centralidad de antaño y predominan diversas tendencias de exclusión laboral (declive del empleo público, precarización de las relaciones salariales, desempleo estructural, migración internacional y persistencia de una economía de la pobreza). La hipótesis central que se plantea es que se está transitando de la oportunidad del empleo formal al riesgo de exclusión laboral. Esta transformación representa el proceso medular de generación actual de desigualdades en los mercados de trabajo en América Latina. En el presente, las dinámicas laborales, caracterizadas por la exclusión, dificultan materializar un arreglo social que logre hacer tolerables tanto las desigualdades estructurales como las desigualdades dinámicas que afectan todas las esferas ocupacionales.

Book Description
This book critically explores from a comparative international perspective the role medicine plays in constructing and managing natural and social risks, including those belonging to modern medical technology and expertise. Drawing together chapters written by professional practitioners and social scientists from the UK, South America, Australia and Europe, the book offers readers an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of how modern medicine has transformed our understanding of both ourselves and the world around us, but in so doing has arguably failed to fully recognize and account for, its unintended and negative effects. This is an essential read for social scientists, practitioners and policymakers who want to better understand how they can develop new ways of thinking about how modern medicine can promote social goods and enhance public health.

Book Description
A region known for its volatility, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has suffered severe economic and social setbacks from crises—including the COVID-19 pandemic. These crises have taken their toll on careers, wage growth, and productivity. Employment in Crisis: The Path to Better Jobs in a Post-COVID-19 Latin America provides new evidence on the effects of crises on the region’s workers and firms and suggests several policy responses that can bolster long-term and inclusive economic growth. This report has three key findings. First, crises lead to persistent employment losses and accelerate structural changes away from the formal sector. This change occurs more through reductions in the creation of formal jobs than through job destruction. Second, some workers recover from crises, while others are permanently scarred by them. Low-skilled workers can suffer up to a decade of lower earnings caused by crises, while high-skilled workers rebound fast, exacerbating the LAC region’s high level of inequality. Formal workers suffer smaller employment and wage losses in localities with higher rates of informality. And the reduced job flows caused by crises decrease welfare, but workers in localities with more job opportunities, whether formal or informal, bounce back better. Third, crises’ cleansing effects can increase efficiency and productivity, but these effects are dampened by the LAC region’s less competitive market structure. Rather than becoming more agile and productive during economic downturns, protected sectors and firms gain market share and crowd out others, trapping valuable resources. This report proposes a three-pronged mix of policies to improve the LAC region’s responses to crises: • Create a more stable macroeconomic environment to smooth the impacts of crises, including automatic stabilizers such as unemployment insurance and short-term compensation programs; • Increase the capacity of social protection and labor programs to respond to crises and coalesce these programs into systems that complement income support with reemployment assistance and reskilling opportunities; and • Tackle structural issues, including the lack of product market competition and the spatial dimension behind poor labor market adjustment—a “good jobs and good firms†? agenda.
