abstract: 'From the empirical point of view, measures that promote work flexibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increase income inequalities and unemployment rates in the long-term, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well as promoting employment precariousness and the informality of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor sector. The objective of the present work is to investigate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effect on wage inequality of eliminating work flexibility, which was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
undertaken in Ecuador in 2008. A two-way effect econometric model was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
applied with panel data. Data from the 21 provinces of Ecuador covering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the period of 2007 - 2018 were obtained from the National Employment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unemployment and Under-Employment Survey (ENEMDU) of the National
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statistical and Census Institute (INEC). The results suggest that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
elimination of work flexibility had a significant and negative effect on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality; the policy was effective in reducing inequality. This result
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is significant for all the years subsequent to the introduction of these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures, although with variations according to regional and economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics. Policies aimed at reducing inequality should focus on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improving workers'' bargaining power and on generating an environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that favors increasing levels of formality.'
