RETA, Magdalena  e  TOLER, Stella. Informalidad laboral por inserción endeble: el caso de Concordia (Entre Ríos, Argentina). Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2013, n.46, pp.97-121. ISSN 1851-1716.

By the year 2006 and after an extended period of economic growth, the labor market in the city of Concordia (Entre Ríos Province, Argentina) was characterized by a high rate of weak insertions exceeding a fifty percent of the economically active population, mainly explained by the logics of survival. The characterization of informality -understood in a broad sense- showed situations present in employees as well as in independent workers and in self-employment activities unable to generate sufficient incomes to gain access to acceptable minimum levels of consumption. This study allowed us to realize that the problems in labor market exceed the analysis of open unemployment.
