Efectos del incremento en el salario mínimo vital sobre el empleo y los ingresos laborales de los trabajadores asalariados en el Ecuador, período 2012-2013

Abstract

Following the study by Palomino (2011), the thesis aims to evaluate the effects of short-term increase in the minimum living wage on labor and employment income of employees in Ecuador. The contribution of the study is to model the structure of the Ecuadorian labor market into three sectors: formal, informal and casual competitive rationed. Allows us to identify the different effects it can have the minimum wage in the market works. It is postulated that the increase in RMV places a greater barrier to the demand for unskilled labor in the formal sector, expelling these workers to rationed informal sector, while employment in the informal sector would not be affected. Continuing aspirational expected revenues in the formal sector increase, and any reduction in the sector rationed accurate reports of increased competition, while no changes are expected in the competitive informal sector. To identify competitive and informal sectors rationed propensity score methodology marching stratified arises, and continues to Neumark (1994) for the assessment on the effects on employment.
