“…Presidential decrees from 1928 mentioned pensions from 66 to 143 sucres monthly for a primary teacher, equivalent to the average received in the last five years. In the third group, constructed from the economically active population found in the public sector, workers in industries and merchants, the data from Naranjo (2017) showed that the lowest-paid employees and workers had, on average, an income of 91 sucres per month within 1920s. However, these wages had fallen sharply during the international crisis: the Great Depression reduced unskilled wages by about 25 sucres from 1929 to 1935.…”

The article carries out an analysis of the labor context in Ecuador during the 1930s with the aim of contributing with new quantitative, legal and contextual information. This information is important as they add three essential elements to understand the work context: economically active population and purchasing power; legal context on labor conditions; and, a brief review on the implementation of the minimum wage. This analysis was carried out based on a historical-comparative and analytical method, taking into account three groups of workers, namely: workers in the public and industrial sector; workers in the interior and small industry; and, workers in rural sectors. Multiple legal benefits have been found for the first group, such as compensation for eviction, premature separation, maternity, disability, overtime worked, in addition to a minimum wage differentiated by zone and type of work. For the second group, the legal benefits are random, and the minimum wages paid are assumed to be daily wages and paid in kind. For the third group, the legal benefits are non-existent, as they live within their own cultural conditions, which excludes them from the legalization of labor systems, their salary compensations are in kind or in food exchange.

“…Por otra parte, el interés por ofrecer nuevas evidencias sobre los salarios, precios y canastas de consumo popular se imbrica con las tendencias de la historiografía económica internacional que han puesto en la agenda el poder de compra de los salarios de los trabajadores como indicador de bienestar material ( welfare ratio ) (Bértola, Camou y Porcile (1999); Williamson (1999, 2002); Allen (2001); Bértola (2005); Arroyo Abad (2013); Challú y Gómez Galvarriato (2015); Astorga (2017); Moraes y Thul (2017); Naranjo Navas (2017); Zamberlan Pereira (2019). Sólo en parte este tipo de enfoques han sido aplicados al caso argentino y mendocino, a pesar de valiosos antecedentes que pusieron el foco en las características del mercado laboral, o más bien de mercados “limitadamente conectados entre sí” (Míguez, 2018, p. 177) y las condiciones de vida de los trabajadores.…”

This paper aims to analyze the changes in the standard of living of workers in the popular sectors of Mendoza during the “great expansion” of the Argentine economy. A series of real wages of the construction pawn in public works is calculated for 1895–1914, in order to compare it with series of real wages of low and medium public employee grades (low-level policeman, porter and clerk) and vineyard employees, which were previously estimated. In this way, we try to know if the dynamism of viticulture and public investment improved their living conditions. In addition, it seeks to compare these results with the cost of a basic basket of goods and services and calculate family income for some construction laborers identified in the National Population Census of 1895, in order to know if they insured family subsistence.

The Great Depression struck Latin America through the commerce: the reduction in revenues from the external commerce spread to the rest of the economy, resulting in the continue decreasing of the monetary supply. The Ecuadorian monetary policy until 1932, based on the gold standard, faced the phenomenon of deflation, which caused real salaries to grow. Since 1932, the monetary supply increased due to the abandonment of the gold standard, which caused real wages to decreased. In the same period, from 1928 to 1935, the primary data of the central offices of eight institutions shows that public employment decreased abruptly from 1928 to 1930, from 109.4 to 83.1 points (1927=100). After 1930, there was a quick recovery until 1932, and, from this point in time, it remained relatively stable until 1935. This article constructs, for the first time in the Ecuadorian historiography, an employment index which serves to see employment as the adjustment variable of the Great Depression.
