  • Summary indicators of Employment protection Legislation (EPL) in Latin America and the Caribbean: 2013
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    The OECD/IDB indicators of employment protection legislation measure the procedures and costs involved in dismissing individuals or groups of workers and the procedures involved in hiring workers on fixed-term or temporary work agency contracts. The indicators have been compiled using IDB and OECD own reading of statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. The OECD Secretariat and the IDB equally share the responsibility of the interpretation of LAC countries’ statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. This database constitutes the first systematic approach to review and compare employment protection regulations in LAC, in a way that is also comparable with countries around the world.

  • Broadband Development Index for Latin America and the Caribbean: 2010-2015
    Dataset

    By Connectivity, Markets and Finance Division (VPS/IFD/CMF)
    The main goal of the IDBA is to size the Digital Divide in Latin America and the Caribbean by measuring the state of broadband development in the 26 Bank-member countries, as well as in additional reference countries (64 nations in total). The IDBA is a powerful tool to identify the magnitude of the gap in two different geographic approached, first when we compare the state of the art of one country versus the cluster region the country belongs to, and second, when we compare the country with respect to the OECD. The IDBA relies on a comprehensive approach based on four pillars: infrastructure, applications and capacity, strategic regulations, and public policy and strategic vision. Those four pillars are built as a result of the combination of 37 indicators from renowned international institutions. As a result, the IDBA provides a tool for decision makers and policymakers to detect, on a country basis, strengths and areas for improvement in developing specific, concrete and...
