“…Martinoty (2015) uses the collapse of the Argentina's convertibility regime as a natural experiment to evaluate the effect of changes in husbands' labor situation in the labor participation decision of their wives, finding evidence of a statistically significant AWE. Similar results are found by Cerrutti (2000) and Paz (2009) also for Argentina in the 1990s and 2000s, respectively, Fernandes and Felicio (2005) for Brazil, and Parker and Skoufias (2004) for Mexico. On the other hand, McKenzie (2004) and MacKenzie (2003) find no evidence on the presence of AWE when studying household strategies to compensate the negative shocks from the financial crises of 2002 in Argentina and 1995 in Mexico, respectively.…”

We study the behavior of female labor force participation (LFP) over the business cycle by estimating fixed effects models at the country and population-group level, using data from harmonized national household surveys of 18 Latin American countries in the period 1987-2014. We find that female LFP follows a countercyclical pattern-especially in the case of married, with children and vulnerable women-which suggests the existence of an inverse added-worker effect. We argue that this factor may have contributed to the deceleration in female labor supply in Latin America that took place in the 2000s, a decade of unusual high economic growth.

“…Dicha explicación se asocia con el denominado "efecto trabajador adicional" (Chisari, 1982;Paz, 2009), concepto, según el cual, el crecimiento de la oferta femenina se vincula a la necesidad de complementar los ingresos del hogar, que impulsa a las mujeres a salir al mercado de trabajo. Este fenómeno no presenta relevancia en los segmentos medios y altos del mercado laboral (Paz, 2009), pero es útil para explicar el proceso de incorporación de las mujeres al mercado de trabajo en los sectores de menores ingresos. Como lo expresa Cutuli (2012), las mujeres ingresan con mayor protagonismo al mercado de trabajo, cuando éste tiene para ofrecer las peores condiciones, ya que el ingreso en situaciones de desempleo o recesión económica, cuando la demanda de trabajadores disminuye y la presión sobre la oferta aumenta, repercute negativamente en la calidad del trabajo que pudieran obtener.…”

respect to male workers and the difficulties of reconciliation between paid work, domestic and care work. The purpose of this article, is to conduct a review and systematization of the literature studying the relationship between paid work and unpaid, from a gender perspective, putting it in context from current data on the labor market in the Argentina, and with the contribution of possible paths to face the difficulties of conciliation. The analyzed literature is structured in three thematic cores: the definition of the dimension of gender in the social sciences and its relationship to the concept of work, the conditions of employment of women, and the problem of conciliation between paid, domestic and care work. From the literature review conducted, it can be concluded that the conciliation of paid work and unpaid, represents a challenge that deeply affects women in connection with their employment and career development. In this regard, the advances in terms of regulations and legislation that promotes equality of treatment and opportunities for men and women in Argentina have not been sufficient and it is still far from such equality.

This paper analyzes the causes and consequences of the percentage of the youth population that is not working, in school or in traning, Neets, in Guatemala. The study rests on the estimation of regression equations that explain the percentage of Neet population in terms of variables associated with the labor market; other set of equations were estimated to assess the role that Neets have in the Guatemalan economy. The data employed was taken from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. The results indicate that the percentage of female and male Neets decrease as the credit to the private sector increase; said percentage increases with the increase of the deficit in the trade balance and with the increase in youth unemployment. Another result is that the Neet population exert negative impacts on the employment to population ratio and on the rate of economic growth. These results are augmented by the analisis of the relationships existing between the percentages of Neets and economic growth, the number of homicides and the number of persons that are incarcerated using a cross section of 2010 data from 13 Latin American countries. The results presented in the paper should motivate policy makers in Guatemala and other countries to design and implement policies geared towards preventing that youth become Neets.
