La informalidad es masiva entre los trabajadores independientes por los altos costos y los bajos beneficios que implica la registración laboral

En números anteriores de Empleo y Desarrollo Social se han examinado las características y problemas de la informalidad laboral entre los asalariados, la cual alcanza al 43% de los trabajadores del sector privado. De acuerdo con la información disponible, la informalidad es aún mayor entre los trabajadores independientes, llegando al 70% en el Gran Buenos Aires. Según un relevamiento realizado por el Ministerio del Trabajo, esto se debería fundamentalmente al alto costo y la poca utilidad que se asocia a la registración laboral. Una realidad que refuerza la necesidad por rediseñar las políticas públicas para incentivar la formalidad y reducir la vulnerabilidad social de este segmento, por ejemplo a través de una reforma del sistema jubilatorio actual que permita extender la cobertura a la totalidad de las personas

Con informalidad masiva, las políticas públicas tradicionales pierden eficacia en reducir la pobreza

La evolución del salario formal comparada con la de los precios al consumidor permite monitorear los ingresos reales de los estratos socioeconómicos medios. Sin embargo, refleja de manera muy parcial la situación de los hogares pobres, ya que en este segmento de la población el trabajo informal es clave como fuente de recursos y de supervivencia. En este informe se define un Índice de Ingresos de Hogares Pobres y se enfatiza la importancia de que las políticas públicas contemplen la informalidad laboral masiva que sufre la Argentina

Un testigo directo de las tensiones religiosas en la Alejandría de los siglos IV y V D.C. : Páladas de Alejandría en la Antología Palatina

Abstract: Although he is the most prolific writer of the Greek Anthology, Palladas’ life is almost unknown. But, in spite of the limited biographical data, his work has fortunately been preserved in the GA. Because of his literary creation, the old times rewarded him with the nickname Μετέωρος, high, since the literary merits of a hundred poems of his authorship was recognized (others are discussed by critics). A dozen of them contains invaluable information about the political, religious and social situation in Alexandria immediately after the victory of the bishop Theophilus, Cyril’s predecessor and uncle, during the conflict between Christians and Gentiles, each sector backed up by an Alexandrian population segment (cfr. 9.528, 10.82, 10.85) . Resigned at times, constantly demanding, Palladas complains about the decline of the belief professed by him due to the increasing penetration of the new faith. Therefore, four epigrams record the conversion of the temple of Tyche into a tavern (9.180-183) and 10.90 seems to attack the doctrine of the Resurrection. When religion and politics go hand-in-hand, when religious conspiracies link up with palace intrigues, consequences are predictable: a man called Doroteo denounced him for his negative response to the new dogma, which caused him the loss of his teacher paid work. His annoyance was even greater with further sufferings, chiefly economic, and he had to sell his books (9.171 and 9.175) among other desperate decisions Forewarned about his radical bitterness against Church, it is just to make clear that he is not fully acquiescent with ancient gods and heroes. Thus, in 5.257 he questions Zeus’ ars amandi, in 9.377 refutes Tantalus’ possibility of thirst and hunger in Hades and 9.773 mischievously points out that Eros has been changed into a pan. The work begins with the selection, personal translation and comprehensive analysis of twenty two epigrams. Through such philological aid, we attempt to verify the frictions and the main perceptible factors in his poetic creation to justify his worldview, according to the pagan sentiment widespread in that time before the twilight already overwhelming of its ailing traditions
