Foreign Trade and Agricultural Employment in Guatemalapdf
6. FOREIGN TRADE AND AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENT IN GUATEMALA Luis Linares, Pedro Prado, and Raquel Zelaya1 6.1 INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the prime source of employment in Guatemala with one of every three workers being employed in the sector. The effect of trade policy on agricultural employment is therefore likely to be an important determinant of the socio-economic consequences of trade in Guatemala. In this chapter several aspects of the relationship between trade and agricultural employment in Guatemala are discussed. This includes a description of the situation of agricultural employment; an analysis of trade in agricultural products; a description of changes in trade policy including the ratification of recent trade agreements; a quantitative analysis of the effects of trade on agricultural employment and a description of legal and institutional aspects relevant for employment in the sector. When characterizing employment in the agricultural sector, a comparison is made with workers in other sectors. Income and education levels among agricultural workers are discussed and so is the role of female employment in the sector. Importantly, the use of data from the Instituto Guatemalteco de Seguridad Social (IGSS) allows us to provide a picture of the role of social security coverage in the agricultural sector. The analysis of trade data pays specific attention to the evolution of traditional export products like bananas, coffee and sugar. The recent increase in non-traditional manufacturing exports is also analysed and a separate analysis is undertaken of the evolution of Guatemala’s export concentration both in terms of product and in terms of geographical concentration. 1The authors, who are staff members of the Asociación de Investigación y Estudios Sociales (ASIES), would like to acknowledge the collaboration of Orlando Monzón and Rubén Darío Narciso on this study.

25 June 2009 General Assembly DEV/2751 ECO/154 Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York Conference on World Financial and Economic Crisis 3rd, 4th & 5th Meetings (AM, PM & Night) DELEGATES CALL FOR SWIFT MEASURES TO RESTRUCTURE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE BODIES, ON SECOND DAY OF UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON WORLD FINANCIAL CRISIS Ecuador ’s President Says Current Economic Order ‘Clan of the Powerful;’ Need for Global Stimulus, Shape of Reform among Issues Raised by Over 50 Speakers Decrying a world economic order that had rewarded the powerful, marginalized the poor and promoted an unbridled capitalism that ignited unprecedented financial contagion, General Assembly delegates today urged swift and concerted measures to restructure international finance bodies and forge people-centred policies that addressed human security. In a marathon second day of the Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development, more than 50 speakers took the floor over three meetings to assess the severity of the current situation, offering ideas about how to bring economic growth back into positive territory, stimulate credit and investment flows, create jobs and breathe new life into stalled trade talks. Newly elected Ecuadorian President Rafael Correra said the current international system was like a “clan of the powerful” that talked about equality, but did not treat anyone fairly. To change the situation, he proposed the creation of a development bank for the South, whose goal would be to finance development projects and, thereby, improve systemic competitiveness. Linked to that would be a common reserve fund for his region -– Latin America -– which would give countries a choice as to where to deposit some $200 billion that had thus far been placed in banks of the global North.
