“…19 Among labor market institutions, a higher-thanaverage formal minimum wage and stricter employment protection through larger severance payments are both associated with lower employment chances for young people, but the association is statistically significantly only for young women (Figure 12, panel 1). These findings are in line with the broader literature on labor markets and regulation in emerging market and developing economies (ILO and others 2012;Nataraj, Perez-Arce, and Kumar 2014;Kemper 2016;Broecke, Forti, and Vandeweyer 2017). When job prospects are diminished as a result of labor market regulations that are too tight, fewer young (and older) women participate in the labor force, which may reflect their more tenuous attachment to the labor force (Figure 12, panel 2).…”

“…We also expect effects to be smaller in developing countries, where work is less formalized and regulated. However, studies of developed countries other than the United States and of developing countries yielded the same hodgepodge of positive, negative, and null effects on employment as in the United States. Clearly, the mix of results within countries makes it difficult to compare countries.…”

“…Por otro lado, la introducción del salario mínimo en el sector agrícola que se hizo efectivo en marzo de 2003 redujo el empleo en ese sector aunque aumentó el cumplimiento de los beneficios no salariales (Borath et al, 2014). Broecke et al (2017) resumen la evidencia encontrada para algunos países en desarrollo mostrando que si bien en promedio los efectos encontrados sobre el empleo no son grandes, en general encuentra evidencia de importantes efectos negativos para los grupos más vulnerables como jóvenes, personas de baja calificación al igual que efectos importantes sobre el empleo informal. 5 aumento que se presentó de un 15% en el salario mínimo entre 1977 y 1987, redujo el empleo manufacturero en 5%.…”
