Calidad de Empleo en Chile: evidencia por grupos de edad

Abstract

Abstract: By constructing a job quality index from a multi-faceted perspective, it is possible to highlight the profound inequalities that divide the labor market, where being self-employed, a woman, or young systematically means facing more precarious jobs, with lower incomes and limited social protection. The following research analyzes job quality in Chile by constructing an index that measures job quality from a multi-faceted perspective using data from the 2022 National Socioeconomic Characterization Survey (CASEN). The results provide data-driven diagnoses that are fundamental for designing public policies aimed at closing these gaps and achieving a development model where decent work is accessible to all occupational and age groups, progress is made toward a system that provides universal social security, where labor inspections are more effective, and strategies for youth and older adult labor market integration are designed that prioritize job quality as the central axis of inclusive and sustainable development.
