Abstract

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre la informalidad laboral y la pobreza en Argentina y Brasil. Para ello se utilizan microdatos de las encuestas de hogares del INDEC y del IBGE para los años 2016, 2019 y 2022. Se aplican técnicas de microdescomposición que permiten desagregar la brecha en la tasa de pobreza entre hogares con jefatura formal e informal en diferencias atribuibles a las características observables y los retornos a dichas características. Los resultados muestran que la pobreza es más elevada en los hogares con jefatura informal. En promedio, entre un 60% y 70% de esa brecha se explica por retornos diferenciales de los atributos de los hogares. Se observan patrones heterogéneos en los factores que explican estas diferencias, sugiriendo que responden a mecanismos heterogéneos y dependientes del contexto institucional, productivo y social de cada economía. Los hallazgos respaldan la hipótesis de segmentación laboral y aportan evidencia empírica para la discusión sobre la pobreza en la región, con implicancias directas para el diseño de políticas.
