Abstract

Este documento presenta la evolución de la estructura de empleo e ingresos laborales observados en Bolivia durante el periodo 1999-2009. Para ello utilizamos la serie armonizada de Encuestas de Hogares - lo que explica por qué nuestros resultados en ocasiones son contradictorios con los de otras investigaciones que también utilizan las Encuestas de Hogares. Nuestro análisis evidencia que, entre los años 1999 y 2009, existieron mejoras en la utilización y la remuneración de la fuerza de trabajo. A pesar del aumento de los niveles de participación se observaron aumentos en la tasa de empleo y remueración media, así como reducciones en las tasas de desempleo, subempleo y desánimo. También se evidencia que, aunque no existieron grandes cambios en la estructura del empleo, la estructura salarial tanto del área urbana como del área rural se modificó ostensiblemente en beneficio de los segmentos con menor remuneración.
