Abstract

Some studies about distributive changes during the last decade for Argentina focus on the importance of the reduction of educational awards as a cause of this improvement. Other works emphasize the changes in labor policies, and their effects on the social security affiliation rates. Less known are the efforts dedicated to analyze the inequities associated with the structural heterogeneity present on labor markets within peripheral economies. Resuming this last perspective, the different thesis currently debated are relativized on the role of the educational returns in relation to the unequal insertion in each productive sector. This relation is analyzed through three different periods. a) a phase of implementation of “orthodox” liberal policies (1992-1998); b) the final phase and crisis of this model (1998-2003); c) a phase dominated by “heterodox” policies oriented to the local market (2003-2014).
