Abstract
Labour market outcomes have been unsatisfactory in each of these three countries over recent years. Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay are “natural resource curse” countries, where a considerable share of exports create few jobs and may discourage employment in other tradable sectors. The main concern of this project is to understand the relevant factors that have determined the quantity and quality of employment (including wages and working conditions) – in the three countries, and to give useful policy recommendations based on this new knowledge. All countries have prepared working papers, and a book containing the main contributions of the three countries will be published.
