ROMERO, Juan. Informal employment in Uruguay between 2010-2022. The new normal?. Rev. Cien. Soc. [online]. 2024, vol.37, n.54, e303.  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 0797-5538.  https://doi.org/10.26489/rvs.v37i54.9.

Over the past thirty years, the Latin American and Caribbean region has been part of the process of deconstructing the protected work model, especially with the impetus of neoliberal policies aimed at flexibilizing these relationships and gradually changing labor laws. One of the indicators is the informalization of employment, in this study referring to the lack of contributions to social security and the social benefits associated with wage labor. Secondary sources from the National Institute of Statistics, Continuous Household Surveys between the years 2010-2022, were analyzed to understand the socio-economic characteristics and profile of workers. It is noteworthy that the Uruguayan and Chilean cases have the particularity of reducing informal labor.

Keywords : informality of work; informality as an indicator of the developing model; profile of informal workers.
