Abstract

This chapter analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics and recovery of the Mexican labor market, identifying the economy’s employment long-run trends segmented by industrial sectors and gender. The research uses the Mexican urban employment surveys to identify consistent micro-founded employment and wages time series from 1993:Q1 to 2021:Q4. The study follows a neoclassical production and labor demand approach with these data sets and estimates a VAR model linking aggregate production and each labor market segment. The results suggest significant adverse effects on employment resulting from the COVID-19 crisis for females and males. The sectorial-gender employment effects present a lower forecasted response to the initial shock but substantial observed employment losses, potentially linked to changes in the market structure. The complexity of this crisis entails crafting policies to enhance job recovery while promoting gender equality in the market.
