Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A region known for its volatility, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has suffered severe economic and social setbacks from crises—including the COVID-19 pandemic. These crises have taken their toll on careers, wage growth, and productivity. Employment in Crisis: The Path to Better Jobs in a Post-COVID-19 Latin America provides new evidence on the effects of crises on the region’s workers and firms and suggests several policy responses that can bolster long-term and inclusive economic growth. This report has three key findings. First, crises lead to persistent employment losses and accelerate structural changes away from the formal sector. This change occurs more through reductions in the creation of formal jobs than through job destruction. Second, some workers recover from crises, while others are permanently scarred by them. Low-skilled workers can suffer up to a decade of lower earnings caused by crises, while high-skilled workers rebound fast, exacerbating the LAC region’s high level of inequality. Formal workers suffer smaller employment and wage losses in localities with higher rates of informality. And the reduced job flows caused by crises decrease welfare, but workers in localities with more job opportunities, whether formal or informal, bounce back better. Third, crises’ cleansing effects can increase efficiency and productivity, but these effects are dampened by the LAC region’s less competitive market structure. Rather than becoming more agile and productive during economic downturns, protected sectors and firms gain market share and crowd out others, trapping valuable resources. This report proposes a three-pronged mix of policies to improve the LAC region’s responses to crises: • Create a more stable macroeconomic environment to smooth the impacts of crises, including automatic stabilizers such as unemployment insurance and short-term compensation programs; • Increase the capacity of social protection and labor programs to respond to crises and coalesce these programs into systems that complement income support with reemployment assistance and reskilling opportunities; and • Tackle structural issues, including the lack of product market competition and the spatial dimension behind poor labor market adjustment—a “good jobs and good firms†? agenda.
Download or read book Labour Law and the Gig Economy written by Jo Carby-Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international book analyses the impact of digitisation in labour markets, on labour relationships and also on labour processes. The rapid progress of modern disruptive technologies and AIs and their multiple applications to each phase of the labour production system, are changing the production rules on a global scale with significant impacts in every aspect of work. As new technologies transform work patterns and change the type of jobs available - destroying some while creating others - and even the nature of the tasks performed, numerous legal problems arise which are challenging to legislators and legal scholars who need to find appropriate solutions to them. Considering the labour law issues which have been created by technological developments and currently affect the work of millions worldwide, this book highlights the full scope of these issues, suggesting solutions to emerging problems and ways to mitigate the risks brought about through technological advancement. Approaching the present debate with perspectives on legal problems with expertise from a wide range of different countries, this book presents informed and scholarly studies which answer the challenges that new technologies present in labour markets, private lives and labour processes.
Download or read book Efecto Viral written by Guillermo Beylis and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La COVID-19 comenzó como una emergencia sanitaria, pero está evolucionando rápidamente hacia una crisis del empleo. Todavía existe incertidumbre sobre la gravedad del impacto económico de la pandemia. Sin embargo, el lastre para el empleo en la región podría prolongarse más que la propia pandemia. Más allá del impacto inmediato sobre el nivel de empleo, la crisis está profundizando y acelerando la transformación del empleo, anticipando el futuro. Efecto viral: COVID-19 y la transformación acelerada del empleo en América Latina y el Caribe se enfoca en las tendencias subyacentes que han estado cambiando significativamente el mercado laboral en la región: la desindustrialización prematura, la servicificación de la economía y los cambios en las habilidades requeridas en los empleos a medida que avanza la automatización. Las conclusiones de este informe tienen varias implicancias importantes para la política económica. Algunas de estas implicancias están relacionadas con los desafíos de productividad a los que ya se enfrentaba América Latina y el Caribe después del final de la Década Dorada en 2013. Otras implicancias políticas podrían comenzar a ganar relevancia por la crisis de COVID-19. A medida que los sectores se ven afectados de diferentes maneras y el trabajo a distancia se vuelve más común, los Gobiernos deben responder con medidas que apoyen una transformación fluida de los puestos de trabajo, que sean socialmente aceptables y que contribuyan al crecimiento de la productividad, incluida la inversion en el capital humano de la fuerza de trabajo. La transformación acelerada de los puestos de trabajo exige un nuevo planteamiento de la normativa laboral y las políticas de protección social. Los países de América Latina y el Caribe desarrollaron una arquitectura institucional orientada a los trabajadores asalariados del sector formal, que rápidamente se está volviendo anticuada. El informe, por ende, refiere a una agenda política que se ocupe de la regulación flexible de las formas emergentes de trabajo de manera que incentive el empleo y apoye la formalización, ampliando así la cobertura de la protección social a segmentos más amplios de la población.

Download or read book How to Make Things Happen written by Beatriz Muñoz-Seca and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers models and frameworks to analyze your service delivery systems as a whole. It presents the framework to solve customer problems by delivering the right knowledge at the right time to the right place and take advantage of the efficiency that technology and algorithms offer. Why do so many brilliant plans fail to deliver in practice? Why can’t your employees just do what you want them to do? In most cases, because the operations eco-system in which those plans must be deployed fails to fully understand the problem that needs to be solved. The fourth industrial revolution is seeing advances in Artificial Intelligence industrialize the service sector. But, despite the cost-cutting that these advances offer firms are still struggling to stay competitive. That is because they think that cost-cutting delivers increased efficiency whereas it is the other way around: increased efficiency cuts costs. And the heart of efficiency in delivering services is people and their knowledge. As industrialization drives ever more standardized offerings and ever little human contact it is in those rare moments of human interaction where the greatest opportunity to add or destroy value lies. It is human brains and the knowledge they contain that are best suited to problem-solving and individualizing client solutions. The real competitive edge will become the ability to foresee and individualize problem-solving. To do this, firms must start thinking of knowledge as inventory – who knows what, who needs to know what and where and when do they need to know it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El quehacer del periodista se ha modificado sustancialmente. Los materiales periodísticos impresos, televisivos o radiofónicos se producen hoy de manera completamente distinta a la de hace años. Las tecnologías de la comunicación y de la información posibilitaron que se redujera el tiempo y el espacio, lo que ha reducido el tiempo de reflexión y de investigación. El periodismo en línea, en tiempo real, los blogs y las herramientas de las redes sociales digitales constituyen innovaciones en las rutinas profesionales. Pero ¿cómo observa el profesional de la información esos cambios? ¿Qué piensa el periodista sobre su propio trabajo y sobre el periodismo en general? ¿Cómo la actividad laboral le organiza su vida? ¿Qué tipo de consumidor mediático es el periodista?
