Competitividad, mercados del trabajo y estructura socioterritorial en Bogotá, Lima y Santiago

Abstract

Economic and labor market reforms to varying degrees and at different times have affected the emergence of new mechanisms of exclusion in Chile, Colombia and Peru. These, in turn, have contributed to the segmentation of labor markets and residential developments in Santiago, Bogota and Lima. Thus the aim of this paper is to provide answers to questions that arise from this process: how have the processes of economic liberalization and productive restructuring, which sought to stimulate economic growth in these countries in the context of globalization, affected the transformation of the urban labor market and socio territorial structure of these cities? Is the search for increased competitiveness reconcilable with a city with lower levels of urban exclusion?
