Abstract

La precariedad laboral que caracteriza a la industria de ropa a nivel mundial tiene su correlato en la calidad de vida de sus trabajadores. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre el empleo en la costura y la pobreza para el periodo de 2003 y 2018 en Argentina. Se responderá al siguiente interrogante: ¿trabajar en la confección de indumentaria aumenta las probabilidades de pertenecer a un hogar pobre, ceteris paribus las características observables de los individuos y de sus hogares? Con información de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) se realizó una descomposición Oaxaca-Blinder que permitió concluir que a) los trabajadores de la costura presentan niveles de pobreza significativamente mayores que el resto, b) que tales diferencias se explican en parte por atributos personales (baja calificación, por ejemplo) y c) también debido a que trabajar en el sector de indumentaria incrementa las probabilidades de ser pobre, aun controlando por atributos personales.
