    Dataset

    By IDB Lab (IDB Lab)
    The phenomenon of digital platforms, which has been a major global disruption in the world of work for nearly a decade, is relatively new in Argentina. By early 2016, five platforms operated in the country, all of them domestically owned. Starting that year, due to factors such as the flexibilization of the payment system for international transactions and others, the entry of new platforms and subsidiaries of foreign companies into the Argentine market accelerated. This influx also boosted new investments directed at locally established platforms. ETP18 is a database on the key characteristics of platform economy activities and workers’ perceptions of these platforms in Argentina in 2018. It provides unique insights aimed at generating new knowledge through this research. The survey was conducted with workers from 11 selected platforms: Mercado Libre, Airbnb, Uber, Cabify, Zolvers, Ando, Glovo, Rappi, Workana, Freelancer, and IguanaFix. The database comprises a sample of 603 cases....

  • Data associated with: Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Results of the Pairing Strategy
    Dataset

    By Housing and Urban Development Division (VPS/CSD/HUD)
    This dataset is associated with the publication "Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Results of the Pairing Strategy" (Related publication only available in Spanish). The report presents the results of a pilot program for comprehensive neighborhood improvement, focusing on indicators such as crime and security, women’s empowerment, optimism, household activities, and access to basic services. The pilot program served as the foundation for the development of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) and was implemented in two neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The program did not achieve the expected outcomes regarding women’s empowerment. Treated women continue to request permission from their partners at a higher rate, and no significant impact was observed on decision-making. On a positive note, the program appears to have had a favorable effect on women’s decisions regarding the number of children to have. This suggests that women...

  • Data associated with: Labor Market Analysis: Employment Demand, Skills, and Training Needs in Bolivia
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    This dataset includes data for an analysis of labor demand characteristics and workforce training needs in the metropolitan areas of La Paz-El Alto, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz—large cities in Bolivia (Related publication only available in Spanish). This information is contrasted with a sample from intermediate and small cities in the country. Labor demand data for large cities comes from a survey of companies conducted in 2015 and 2016, while data for intermediate and small cities is derived from a survey conducted between 2016 and 2017. The document presents key findings on the productive characteristics of cities, company profiles, and workforce dynamics, including recruitment and selection processes, employee turnover, reasons for dismissals, training, demand for and valuation of skills, among other factors. Finally, it outlines policy implications for Bolivia’s labor market.
