Labour institutions and labour market performance in Argentina

This publication aims to document the advances made in Argentina in relation to strengthening labour institutions and the impact of those institutions on labour market performance in terms of employment and the quality of jobs.

The aim of this document is twofold. First, to document the advances made in Argentina in relation to strengthening labour institutions and the impact of those institutions on labour market performance in terms of employment and the quality of jobs. To that end, we will examine the results of a series of measures undertaken by the ILO country office for Argentina during the period covered by the three decent work programs. It is our hope that this assessment will contribute to the debate on the advances that have been made towards full and productive employment and decent work for all in Argentina, as well as the challenges that remain. Second, since the role labour institutions play in labour market performance is a topic of international debate and recommendations vary from case to case, this report will attempt to provide diagnoses and empirical evidence, and to discuss lessons learned, on the impact of labour institutions and policies in the Argentine case.
