Regional inequality in multidimensional quality of employment: insights from Chile, 1996–2017
用Alkire-Foster方法构建多维就业质量指数,发现智利各地区间差异显著但呈收敛趋势,主要受法规和公共政策而非经济增长驱动,有助于政策制定者关注最脆弱劳动者。
This paper proposes a multidimensional synthetic index for measuring the quality of employment using the Alkire-Foster method. The results generated by this index highlight important differences between Chile's regions, but also a process of convergence, which has been mostly driven by regulatory changes and public policy rather than economic growth. The paper shows how much a synthetic index can contribute to regional analysis and how it can inform policymakers by focusing attention on the most vulnerable workers in regional labour markets.
