Abstract

LORIA, Eduardo  and  LICONA, Estefany. The Great Gatsby Curve for Mexico: intergenerational labor precariousness. Prob. Des [online]. 2022, vol.53, n.209, pp.81-113.  Epub Sep 19, 2022. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2022.209.69720.

In recent years, the labor market in Mexico has become increasingly precarious, as the proportion of the employed population that receives low wages has risen and the critical conditions of occupation have grown exponentially. To enrich the concept of labor precariousness, we aggregated three additional variables. Through a logit model -with data from the Social Mobility Survey in Mexico 2017- we proved that a set of variables that are external to individuals have statistically significant effects on the employment trajectory and social mobility of the employed population. These results empirically validate The Great Gatsby Curve for Mexico.

Keywords : labor precariousness; Great Gatsby Curve; poverty; social mobility; logistic regression.
