Abstract

In this paper, we contribute to the study of short run income mobility in Latin America by assessing the importance of demographic movements in household income fluctuations. We exploit the rotating scheme of household surveys from seven Latin American countries to build short panels that allow us to quantify the size and relevance of household compositional changes in yearly time windows. We find evidence of a small but significant weight of demographic movements as an explicative factor of short-term income mobility. Additionally, we explore the existence of household strategies to smooth the evolution of per capita income as a response to demographic shocks, consisting of entrance to or exit from the labor market8,26 % of total Brazilian industry, and these industries are traditional, low-tech intensity, only the automotive industry is medium-technology. Twenty industries have downward productivity gains, 18,35 % of total Brazilian industry, and between them are high-technology industries, as diverse capital tools, and electronics
