Abstract

De acuerdo con las leyes mexicanas y las regulaciones de la OIT se construyó un índice multidimensional de trabajo decente usando la metodología de Alkire y Foster aplicada a paneles de la Encuesta de Ocupación y Empleo (ENOE). Es un índice multidimensional que toma en cuenta ocho dimensiones, una monetaria y siete no monetarias, que son ingreso laboral, horas trabajadas, seguridad social, cuidados familiares, trabajo suficiente, protección a los derechos laborales, respeto a los derechos laborales y estabilidad en el empleo. De esta manera se logró clasificara los trabajosen cuatro tipos: decente, no decente, MEL (vulnerable por Mínimos Estándares Laborales) y vulnerable por salario.
