EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT IN THE 1980s ARGENTINA

In the 1970s, developmental theory was refuted, which said that economic and educational growth went hand in hand, thus questioning the historical capacity of education to promote upward social mobility. The statement that economic growth guarantees employment does not seem true either.

Recent evolution of the labor market

1.1. Background

Until the 1970s, the country's unemployment and underemployment levels were low thanks to an interventionist state that promoted import substitution, with significant urbanization, well-qualified European immigrants, and important power for the unions.

In the '70s, a process of industrial concentration began, decreasing the small and medium-sized owners and falling the industrial workforce.

There is a process of Latin Americanization of the Argentine occupational structure, with economic stagnation and open unemployment.

The labor market in the last decade

From the mid-1970s through the 1980s, in the lost decade, there was negative GDP growth.

a) Growth in the activity rate

Between 1985-92 the activity rate grew from 37.9% to 39.8%; However, the growth of the ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE POPULATION (EAP) was not due to an increase in the demand of the labor market or an improvement in the conditions of employment supply, but is linked to the need of poor families to command to the labor market to new members to compensate for the deterioration in income, locating itself in sectors of low qualification and precarious jobs.

b) Unemployment growth

Unemployment tripled in the 80/90 period, especially among young people and women.

c) Heterogenization, fragmentation and deterioration of employment conditions

Precarious employment includes those without a salary receipt or social benefit, and in 1993 it comprised 42.4% of the population.

Precariousness can imply working in the black or, even if a bonus and vacations are paid, not having a salary receipt or receiving social benefits.

The impoverishment, then, is not due so much to total exclusion from employment, as to different types of invisible underemployment: in commerce and services with small units with very low productivity, domestic service and the public sector.

As for self-employment, it is no longer a question of small employers displaced by economic concentration, as in the 1960s, but of former employees in precarious conditions and without initial
