    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.

    This paper presents new data documenting the level and evolution of public spending on non-contributory programs for 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Salaried formal workers contribute to social security and in return have access to an array of benefits -mainly old-age pensions and health services. In recent decades, informal workers – salaried and non-salaried- have gained access to similar benefits, financed through general revenues. Our calculations indicate that, on average, the region spends 1.7% of GDP in these programs. Although they were created in response to social demands, by targeting informal workers these programs may create a behavioral response -i.e. more informality. This paper does not attempt to measure behavioral effects. Its main contribution is to be the first to document this “subsidy to informality” following a common methodology across countries and years in the region.
