Description

Las profundas transformaciones ocurridas en la estructura de la economía chile­na durante la última década provocaron un importante efecto en el comportamiento del mercado laboral, especialmente en términos de una mayor tasa de desempleo, ele­vándose ésta a niveles sustancialmente superiores a los históricos. En efecto, el período 1974-1983 se caracterizó por altas tasas de desempleo, las cuales fueron, en promedio, de 13,2% anual.
