从比较制度或“资本主义多样性”的角度来看，拉丁美洲劳动力市场的独特特征在大多数方面与发达国家的劳动力市场不同。此外，拉丁美洲劳动力市场的五个核心特征之间存在很强的经济互补性：低技能水平、高劳动法规、短工作任期、大型非正规部门和缺乏工厂一级代表的小型政治化工会。虽然这五个组成部分之间的经济互补性众多且强大，但并不能说明全部情况，我们分析了额外的政治互补性。这种对经济和政治相互作用的综合观点有助于解释拉丁美洲劳动力市场的连续性以及近几十年来对市场改革和全球化的令人失望的反应。
In a comparative institutional or ‘variety of capitalism’ perspective, the distinctive traits of labor markets in Latin America differ in most respects from labor markets in developed countries. Moreover, there are strong economic complementarities among five core features of labor markets in Latin America: low skill levels, high labor regulation, short job tenure, a large informal sector, and small, politicized unions that lack plant level representation. While numerous and strong, economic complementarities among these five components do not tell the whole story, and we analyze additional political complementarities. This integrated perspective on the economic and political interactions helps explain continuities in labor markets in Latin America and their disappointing response in recent decades to market reform and globalization.
