Resumen
HORBATH, Jorge E.. Contrasting regional employment discrimination towards young people in Mexico. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1273-1290. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14226240814.
The conditions of young people in Mexico are far from encouraging, especially in a situation involving an economic crisis and its impact on labor markets, in which one of the first grounds for dismissal is limited work experience. This article seeks to highlight the precarious conditions that young people faced in the labor market in Mexico between 2000 and 2010. The study compares the different regions using census microdata from population samples and builds indexes that cover occupational segregation and wage and educational discrimination. The results demonstrate the very low recognition of young people’s efforts to acquire training and skills, which was reflected in their low salaries. The differences between the working conditions in the different states keep increasing, “mortgaging” their social welfare and not taking advantage of what’s left of their demographic bonus.
