abstract: 'This paper examines how different types of workers in middle-income

  countries fared during the immediate aftermath of the great recession.

  Youth suffered extraordinary increases in unemployment and declines in

  wage employment. Employment to population ratios also plummeted for men,

  primarily due to their higher initial employment rates. Percentage

  employment declines within sector were gender-neutral, and there is

  little indication of strong added worker effects. Traditionally

  disadvantaged groups such as less educated and female workers were not

  necessarily most affected during the crisis, underscoring the importance

  of implementing targeted mitigation measures that focus on displaced

  youth and wage employees. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
