This paper focuses on women's participation in the Chilean (INE, 2009). Pese a ello, los resultados son aún bajos en relación a la media de América Latina. Según los datos de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo 1 , la tasa de actividad laboral urbana de las mujeres en Chile en el año 2000 fue de un 42%, mientras que la media de América Latina (18 países) fue de un 50%. * Las autoras desean manifestar su agradecimiento a los evaluadores anónimos, cuyas acertadas sugerencias han contribuido a mejorar considerablemente este trabajo.

The aim of this study is to analyse the likelihood of agricultural workers in rural areas converting to the tourism sector. Chile is used as a case study, drawing on the CASEN survey of 2017 to analyse differences between the northern, central, and southern regions of the country and construct a satellite account of tourism. A matching process was carried out within the data, and the estimation of a logit model was done to assess the probability of labour reconversion. The results indicate that an agricultural worker has a 12.8% probability of retraining. However, differences emerged when demographic characteristics were analysed; specifically, people with post-secondary education and women have a higher probability of retraining. These and other sociodemographic characteristics are important to explain potential labour reconversion towards tourism in rural areas, although differences arose between areas of the country. Therefore, homogeneous public policies that do not consider the specific characteristics of the territories within a country will be ineffective.

Logit, binary and multinomial models are used in this study to determine the impact of objective and perceived working conditions on workers' job satisfaction. Possible differences between job satisfaction in the Metropolitan Region and in other areas of Chile are also explored. The data used in this analysis are drawn from the first National Survey on Employment, Work, Health and Quality of Life of Workers in Chile (ENETS). Wage levels were found to have a positive impact across the board, while residence in an area other than the Metropolitan Region also had a significantly positive effect. These results were corroborated using matching techniques. The finding that subjective perceptions have a great deal of explanatory power and that their impact outweighs the influence of objective conditions may be of interest in the areas of both public policy and business administration.

Un aspecto interesante de estudiar en los principales centros nodales de la Patagonia Chilena, es la forma en que evolucionan y sensibilizan las etapas productivas facilitadoras del desarrollo a partir de; las semejanzas de sus especializaciones laborales y funcionales y; de entre estas últimas con los tipos encadenamientos que existen en cada centro. En tal lógica, esta investigación responde a: ¿se vio estimulado el desarrollo de los principales centros de la Patagonia Chilena para los años 2007 y 2012 producto de una similitud entre, sus especializaciones laborales y funcionales y, por otra parte, entre estas estructuras con los tipos de encadenamientos que existen? Los resultados indican que, en general, al existir coherencia en los aspectos planteados, se favorece el desarrollo y la profusión de relaciones económicas de la zona.
