MURGUIA SALAS, VERÓNICA. STEADY WORK IN MEXICO: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN 2007 AND 2009. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.1, pp.109-130. ISSN 0121-6805.

This article compares sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of working-age population in Mexico between 2007 and 2009, seeking to detect if the economic crisis that started in the country from 2008 was a catalyst for changes in working conditions of people with steady employment. Among the main results is that one of the most affected areas was the reduction of benefits and incomes of employed population in 2009 compared to 2007, mainly in groups such as women, youth and older than 60 years old, single, less educated, those who develop manual activities and those who work in manufacturing industry and secondary sector. Despite this reduction in incomes and benefits, Mexican labor regulations in force in the period of study protected the steady workers in order to not lose their jobs, after economic crisis of 2008.

Keywords : Labor stability; Economic crisis; Working population.
