Resumen
Descripción
Using panel data from labor force
surveys in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, the paper maps out
young people's paths from the classroom to the work
place during the 1980s through the early 2000s. By
decomposing transition matrices into propensity to move and
rate of separation and estimating duration matrices, the
authors follow young people's movements between school
and work and between employment sectors to better understand
the dynamics of youth employment, including where youth go
upon leaving school, how long they spend in each state, and
where they go upon leaving various employment states. The
main conclusion of the study is that young people across all
three countries follow a similar trend over their life
cycle: they leave school to spend a short time in the
informal sector, move to a formal position for longer
spells, and finally become self-employed. The authors find
evidence of decreasing segmentation between formal and
informal sectors as workers age, a lower propensity for
formal sector employees to return to school than workers in
the same age cohort who are not in the formal sector, and
that entry to self-employment is not subject to income constraints.
