Abstract

This paper analyses the long-run relationship between poverty and labour market in 29 urban centers in Argentina from 2003 to 2021 using a cross-sectionally augmented linear autorregresive distributed lag model, considering both symmetric and asymmetric variations. The study reveals a negative relationship between labour income and poverty whereas the unemployment rate, informality rate, and Gini Coefficient are directly linked to poverty.  Notably, the analysis does not find evidence of asymmetric effects of the labor market on poverty over the long term.
