Abstract

The present study explores the dynamics of Argentina's informal labor market from 2004 to 2024, analyzing the stylized facts regarding the business cycle using contemporary information. The results obtained are contextualized by comparing them with studies conducted by local researchers and the main aspects highlighted in the international literature. Unlike similar studies and in line with current trends that seek to overcome the limitations caused by the lack of availability of statistical data, which poses a challenge inherent to the phenomenon studied, this research is based on a time series package filtered by the authors directly from the microdatabase of the Permanent Household Survey (EPH, for its acronym in Spanish). This survey is openly provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC, for its acronym in Spanish) of Argentina.
