What is growing the most in the city of Buenos Aires is informality and job insecurity. It grows either in the mode of wage earners “without pension discount” or who work as an employee like “billers” or monotributists or they work as self-employed without contributing to social security. reaches levels that overcome those of the pre-pandemic and affects nearly half of the youngest workers.
“The population employed in the informal sector (in the employee and self-employed categories) in the second quarter of 2022 fluctuates between 38.7% and 31.4%, depending on the definition adopted for self-employed workers. registration and / or regular payment for the exercise of the activity or professionals who work in non-public establishments respectively of no more than 5 people). A year earlier, the range limits were lower: 35% and 27.3%.
The data comes from the Statistical Office of the city of Buenos Aires and shows it 1,494,000 employedas employees and self-employed, 578,000 work in precarious jobswithout social security.
Meanwhile, of these totals, the wage population without social security registration and the one that contributes exclusively on its own – without the employer making discounts on the pension – amounts to 340,000 workers “in precarious working conditions”.
Out of 1,186,000 salaried workers in Buenos Aires, the informality at work is 28.7% of the total. A year ago, this form of insecurity covered 23.1% of 1,126,500 employees. They added 258,000 workers.
Consequently, net the growth in job insecurity among the wage population increased by 82,000 workershigher than the increase in wage labor itself.
“The results show that labor force absorption is driven by the unregulated employee. He had the segment made up of the salaried population who do not receive pension discounts or who contribute to social security alone An increase year on year of 31.6% and 5.3% compared to 2019 ”, highlights the Report of the Buenos Aires Management.
Meanwhile, the Report adds that “32.5% of self-employed workers do not have a registration to carry out their business. Another 4%, although they have registered for some time, have no up-to-date payments. Over the past year, these sets have expanded significantly, higher than the increase of the entire self-employed population“.
The young population between the ages of 19 and 29 is the most affected by this job insecurity. “49.9% of young people work without access to labor rights (8.2 points more than in 2021 and 8.1 points more than three years ago). These indicators show, once again, the unfavorable conditions of access to “decent work” that this group faces when they manage to get a job “.
