“…An increase in the economic growth rate has a negative impact on female and male self-employment rates, which indicates that economic growth creates better job opportunities for persons who are self-employed in the formal economy. This agrees with the evidence presented by Cáceres and Cáceres (2017a), who found that economic growth drove down the self-employment rate in a sample of panel data for 1993−2012 from six countries in the region.…”

“…The coefficients for remittances are significant and negative in both cases, which indicates that they are a source of liquidity that enables both women and men to exit self-employment. This also is in keeping with the results obtained by Cáceres and Cáceres (2017a), which indicate that an increase in real wages that represents an injection of liquidity similar to what is provided by remittances is reflected in a decrease in the female and male self-employment rates.…”

“…The following analysis will focus on the impact of deindustrialization on the self-employment rate, which is generally used as a proxy for the informal or shadow economy (Loayza, 1997;Loayza and Rigolini, 2011). Cáceres and Cáceres (2017a) found that the main determinants of self-employment in a sample of six Latin American countries were the economic growth rate and the level of remittances as a percentage of GDP. These two variables will be considered here -along with the change in the manufacturing sector's share of GDP (D (Manu)) and a qualitative variable (Quali1) representing the drop in GDP in 2009-to be the determinants of self-employment in El Salvador.…”

This study explores how deindustrialization is influencing the labour market in El Salvador. The variables under analysis are disaggregated by sex in order to permit an analysis of the differences in the ways that women and men react to deindustrialization. The results indicate that deindustrialization has led to a decline in quality employment and an upswing in self-employment, at the same time that the female labour force participation rate has risen and the male participation rate has fallen. This all occurred in parallel with the economic measures introduced in the 1990s and reflects the role that women have assumed in order to safeguard the well-being of their families. Deindustrialization has also been associated with increasing violence, since it paves the way for an increase in poor-quality jobs. This article concludes by underscoring the importance of reinstating tariff protections and supporting a reindustrialization process, together with regional integration, gender equality and education.

“…Fuente: Elaboración propia.Otras ecuaciones se estimaron controlando por la desindustrialización y el crecimiento económico e incluyendo como variables independientes las tasas de desempleo femenino y masculino, dada la evidencia de que el desempleo es uno de los principales determinantes del empleo a tiempo parcial(Cáceres y Cáceres, 2017a). Los resultados del cuadro 6 indican que, aun cuando se incluyen estas variables adicionales, los coeficientes del índice de reformas son significativos y positivos, y de mayor dimensión en el caso del subempleo femenino.…”

“…Existe evidencia de que el aumento del empleo a tiempo parcial conduce a la reducción de la productividad laboral(Cáceres y Cáceres, 2017b). La caída de la productividad contribuiría al descenso del dinamismo económico y del valor agregado del sector manufacturero, y, por tanto, al incremento del empleo a tiempo parcial, lo que podría dar lugar a una trampa de subempleo.…”

En este trabajo se aborda la manera en que la desindustrialización afecta el mercado laboral de El Salvador. En el análisis se desagregan las variables por género, lo que permite apreciar las diferentes respuestas de mujeres y hombres a la desindustrialización. Los resultados indican que la desindustrialización ha conducido al descenso del empleo de calidad y al aumento del autoempleo, mientras que la participación laboral femenina ha aumentado y la masculina ha disminuido, en paralelo a las reformas económicas que se llevaron a cabo en los años noventa, lo que denota el papel de la mujer a la hora de salvaguardar el bienestar del hogar. Además, la desindustrialización está asociada al incremento de la violencia, ya que contribuye al aumento del empleo de baja calidad. El artículo concluye enfatizando la importancia de restituir la protección arancelaria y apoyar la reindustrialización, la integración regional, la igualdad de género y la educación.

Do Education Investment and Welfare of Labor Affect Productivity Growth in Indonesia?

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Increasing the education budget in Indonesia has become the focus of economic politics because it is a fundamental issue. Education, as a significant component of labor productivity, plays a vital role in driving the welfare of the workforce due to the increase in the Total Factor Productivity (TFP). This paper aims to test the quality of tertiary education by using World Bank and APO data. This paper provides an overview of tertiary education that influences TFP when juxtaposed with several other control variables and uses the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) test. The results show that TFP growth is significantly positively affected by the improvement of tertiary education quality and production capital but is significantly affected by the welfare of the workforce. This study implies that the government must allocate an adequate budget to improve education quality in Indonesia.How to Cite:Aji, R. H. S., Baharin, R., Yussof, I., & Mohd Saukani, M. N. (2022).
