ILO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean - Lima, Peru

- Panorama Laboral 2004 (2004 Labour Overview), ILO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, Lima, 2004. The contents of 'Panorama Laboral 2004' imply a double message. On one hand, most countries' economies are recovering for the second consecutive year. On the other hand, such recovery has furthered labour progress in the region as a whole, but not in all countries. Boosted by significant economic growth and by a favourable international setting, Latin America's labour market recorded in 2004 a decline of unemployment in various countries, a reduction of the regional unemployment average, a rise of real salaries in nearly all countries and increased productivity. Yet informal employment grows, social protection coverage remains stagnant, while women and youth continue to be the groups most affected by unemployment in the region. This document offers labour market indicators covering several years for the different regional countries, built from national household surveys.
