“…Bertranou et al. () argue that this change might, at least in part, explain the increase in the number of social security registrations, which rose from 78,000 in 2005 to 280,000 in 2011. Most of the increase in registration rates took place from 2006.…”

“…While there are no studies evaluating the impact of this reform, the measure seems to have contributed to an increase in formality observed in the sector of domestic work. Bertranou et al (2013) argue that this change might, at least in part, explain the increase in the number of social security registrations, which rose from 78,000 in 2005 to 280,000 in 2011.

Although inequality and labour informality continue to be distinctive characteristics of Argentina and Brazil, during the last decade the two countries have been successful in reversing the negative trends of the 1990s. This article presents a comparative analysis of the labour formalization process that took place in Argentina and Brazil during the 2000s. It studies the flows towards labour formality, what caused them, and the interrelations of this process with the changes that occurred in labour institutions and the decline in income inequality. The study contributes to two debates: the role of labour market flexibilization in employment formalization, and the decline in income inequality. Most of the literature emphasizes the evolution of returns to education; this study complements this approach by analysing the contribution of formalization to the decline in inequality in Argentina and Brazil. The results show that labour formalization has reached all categories of workers, that it has been accompanied by real minimum wage increases, and that it has had an equalizing effect.

“… 4 For example, Bertranou et al (2013: 5) estimated that 43.8 percent of the total workforce was unregistered in 2010. For the same year, around 58 percent of self-employed workers were unregistered while, as we will see below, the rate of unregistered work among salaried workers was lower at approximately 38 percent.…”

Review of Radical Political Economics

Like several other countries in Latin America, after 2003 Argentina took considerable steps to distance itself from the neoliberal policies it had followed for almost 30 years. Yet there have also been critical continuities from the neoliberal era. Our argument is that these continuities manifest themselves most clearly in the nature of economic growth and in the endurance of some of the most troubling trends in labor markets over the last 30 years.
