Participación económica, perfiles ocupacionales y condiciones de trabajo de los jóvenes del Gran La Plata en el período 2003-2006

Abstract

This work proposes to do a contribution to the study of the labour situation of young people in an argentine agglomerate, Gran La Plata, shaped by the city of La Plata 'the capital of the Province of Buenos aires', Berisso and ensenada. It is an urban agglomerate that in general lines has crossed for similar processes to the ones that have ocurred in the nacional level on the labor market, as well as in relation to the evolution of the indicators of poverty and indigence. Different studies have reached to a complete characterization of the local labor market from the beginning of the nineties, but specific researches have not been realized on the labour juvenile problematics. The period selected to realize this study includes the year 2003 to 2006, moment in which there has taken place a constant growth of the national economy, in which general improvements were visualized in the levels of employment and falls in the levels of poverty and indigence. At the time that it is necessary to bear in mind that these improvements 'as they are important' they do not represent a recovery of the previous levels of the decade of ninety, it is necessary to stand out, since some authors notice, that the increases in the employment and decreases in the rates of unemployment and suboccupation do not involve that structural problems have been reverted, as the segmentation and precarización labour, with their effects on the living conditions of the workers. This makes particularly interesting the study of the situation of the young people, given the specificities that as group they acquire on the labor market. There is in use the information belonging to the encuesta Permanente de Hogares from Indec, available of the constant version (2003-2006), considering the second semester of every year
