Abstract

En este artículo se examinan los determinantes del uso del tiempo de los menores con especial referencia a los que tienen que ver con choques (idiosincrásicos o globales) adversos al bienestar de los hogares. Muchos de los hogares que ven resentidos sus ingresos por algún motivo apelan a la fuerza de trabajo de los cónyuges con el objetivo de lograr un consumo más plano. Al parecer, los hogares que movilizan fuerza laboral de sus cónyuges recuperan, aunque más no sea parte, del ingreso perdido y este efecto es más fuerte en los hogares de estrato socioeconómico más bajo. Habida cuenta de estos resultados de corto plazo, el interrogante que guía la elaboración de este artículo es el siguiente: ¿El uso de las estrategias basadas en la fuerza laboral de reserva entraña costos de largo plazo? Una forma de abordar este problema es examinando primero si los choques que enfrenta el hogar precipitan la entrada al mercado de trabajo de niños y jóvenes, y siendo este el caso, si dicha participación ejerce algún efecto sobre el nivel y la calidad del proceso de acumulación de capital humano que se lleva adelante en estas edades. Pero dado que la interrupción de la escolaridad de un menor es un hecho final y extremo de un proceso, se examinan otras respuestas que alteran la calidad del capital humano adquirido y que son directamente observables con las variables tradicionales.
