Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En este trabajo se emplea un nuevo conjunto de datos para analizar las respuestas de los hogares a las sacudidas adversas de los ingresos en siete países latinoamericanos. Los resultados demuestran que: (i) los hogares responden a las sacudidas del ingreso principalmente aumentando su participación en la fuerza laboral, vendiendo activos y recortando inversiones en su capital humano; (ii) las familias pobres son las que tienen más probabilidades de sufrir las repercusiones de las sacudidas del ingreso, y (iii) las familias de clase media baja tienen más probabilidades de recortar la inversión en el capital humano y mudarse al exterior al encarar una sacudida adversa del ingreso. Estos resultados, tomados en su conjunto, brindan una amplia justificación para la existencia de sistemas de seguridad social con fondos públicos dirigidas a los pobres.
