Book Description
This book examines the links between economic growth, changing employment conditions, and the reduction of poverty in Latin America in the 2000s. Our analysis answers the following broad questions: Has economic growth resulted in gains in standards of living and reductions in poverty via improved labour market conditions in Latin America in the 2000s, and have these improvements halted or been reversed since the international crisis of 2008? How do the rate and character of economic growth, changes in the various employment and earnings indicators, and changes in poverty and inequality indicators relate to each other? Our contribution is an in-depth study of the multi-pronged growth-employment-poverty nexus based on a large number of labour market indicators (twelve employment and earnings indicators and four poverty and inequality indicators) for a large number of Latin American countries (sixteen of them). The book presents a positive and hopeful set of findings for the period 2000 to 2012/13. Economic growth took place and brought about improvements in almost all labour market indicators and consequent reductions in poverty rates. But not all improvements were equal in size or caused by the same things. Some macroeconomic factors were associated with changes in labour market conditions, some of them always in the welfare-improving direction and some others always in the welfare-reducing direction. Most countries in the region suffered a deterioration in at least some labour market indicators as a consequence of the international crisis of 2008, but the negative effects were reversed very quickly in most countries.

Book Description
En la década de 1940 nació un movimiento social, el comercio justo, que busca la emancipación de los productores del Sur y que el mercado internacional sea un espacio de inclusión para todos por igual. Todo ello mediante una producción ética y un consumo responsable. Para conseguir su objetivo, tiene establecidos10 principios que todo miembro debe de cumplir donde se engloban temas desde unas condiciones dignas de trabajo, igualdad y no discriminación, al compromiso del cuidado por el medio ambiente. En este trabajo mediante un análisis de las diferentes asociaciones del comercio justo, destacando Fairtrade International, se estudia su conexión con la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en cuanto a su compromiso social y medioambiental. Además, se valoran las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores tomando como referencia los convenios de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo y, por último, se analiza en qué medida el comercio justo ayuda a la igualdad de género en el empleoy el empoderamiento de la mujer. Palabras clave: comercio justo, Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, convenios de la organización internacional del trabajo (OIT), igualdad de género.

Book Description
This Selected Issues paper investigates the impact of exchange rate movements on private consumption in Uruguay. Uruguay is a highly dollarized economy, which makes the relationship between exchange rate movements and private consumption particularly complex. The paper shows that a large share of Uruguayan households is liquidity constrained, which allows the transitory real income shocks brought about by exchange rate pass-through to have a significant impact on consumption. Moreover, exchange rate pass-through is highly heterogenous, with relative prices of durables increasing (decreasing) following a depreciation (appreciation). This creates incentives for households to engage in intertemporal substitution where they buy durables when they are relatively cheaper. Data from Input–Output tables show that Uruguay produces a nontrivial amount of the tradable, durable goods it consumes, opening the door to contractionary depreciations. The results offer a potential explanation for the often noted ‘excess volatility of consumption’ in emerging markets for the case of Uruguay.
