HUALDE, Alfredo  y  SERRANO, Arcelia. The Quality of Employment of Employees in Tijuana and Monterrey Who Have A Higher Education. A Quantitative Analysis. RMIE [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.25, pp.345-374. ISSN 1405-6666.

Within the framework of the economic restructuring and employment flexibility of recent decades, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the quality of employment of salaried workers with a higher education, in Tijuana and in the metropolitan area of Monterrey (cities in northern Mexico that are characterized by their important economic and industrial dynamics). Used for the study was Mexico’s National Survey of Urban Employment from 1994 to 2002. We found that the employment conditions of salaried employees with a higher education still have advantages over the conditions of workers with less education, in spite of some precarious trends, especially with regard to the lack of social security and the lengthening of the work day in Tijuana; in Monterrey, improvement in the quality of employment is evident.
