Abstract
RODRIGUEZ JUAREZ, Eduardo. Effect of education on the precariousness of work in times of COVID-19 in Mexico. Rev. mex. econ. finanz [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.3, e642. Epub May 02, 2022. ISSN 2448-6795. https://doi.org/10.21919/remef.v16i3.642.
In this research, the relationship between the precariousness of working conditions and the education level of workers has been analyzed, for the months of the health crisis due to COVID-19 in Mexico. Through a sectorial analysis and using panel data in the months of April, May and June 2020 and in order to assess the occupational precariousness, an index was built and an economic model was estimated with the purpose of analyzing the interaction among the study variables. It was found that the health crisis due to COVID-19 increased the occupational precariousness. This cogency is the basis for the labor and educational policies. It is limited by the information which is still scarce and limited in time. The originality of this research is its sectorial approach and its main contribution is the cogency of a positive relationship among the sectors with higher precariousness and workers with lower educational credentials.
