Construcción de un índice de condiciones laborales por estados para México.

This paper proposes the construction of a labor condition index at the state level in Mexico. Using data from the National Employment Survey 2004, we aggregate an index with three dimensions: equality conditions (by gender and by income), jobs covered by social security and returns to schooling. Results show that states with better labor conditions are in general in the North: Coahuila, bcs, Aguascalientes, Nuevo León, bc and Chihuahua. States with a lower labor condition index are: Morelos, Oaxaca, Tlaxcala, Guerrero and Chiapas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
