Resumen
PAZ ANTOLIN, María José. Ajuste estructural e informalidad en Guatemala. Prob. Des [online]. 2008, vol.39, n.155, pp.153-179. ISSN 0301-7036.
Given the relevance of the economic reforms applied to economic performance in the last twenty years, studies are needed to analyze these links. This is the aim of the present work which focuses on the Guatemalan economy and on the evolution of its labor conditions. The analysis presents the common features of the reform policies carried out, but focuses on the what is distinctive in the Guatemalan case. In this sense, the politico-social context stands out, as does its particular form of insertion into the world economy. The different indicators studied show how the deterioration in labor conditions has been produced, above all by the growth of informality. Although this has been a typical phenomenon in Guatemala its evolution presents new elements linked precisely to the adjustment policies.
