Summary:

From a comparative analysis of the three Latin American countries, economists Berg, Christoph Ernst, and Peter Auer, all with the International Labour Office in Geneva, glean lessons about the different macro-economic and meso-economic policies implemented as a result of liberalization, and about changes in labor market regulations and the conduct of labor relations. They argue that governments make employment a central goal of economic and social policy to spur the creation of quality employment, and offer advice on what works best.
