First, the evidence on the relationship between trade liberalization, macro-restructuring and labor market outcomes during the 1990s is reviewed. Second, labor market rigidities will be analyzed and the extent to which reform efforts facilitated formal employment creation. Finally, based on lessons learned from the 1990s, a new agenda for labor market reform is proposed which reflects more closely the new environment in which Latin American governments now operate. 2012-08-13T11:23:04Z 2012-08-13T11:23:04Z 2002-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/05/1977230/trade-liberalization-labor-reform-latin-america-caribbean-1990s http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10410 English en breve; No. 1 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean
