Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Previous research using macro data has suggested that the rise of labor market informality in Latin America has brought important consequences for the consolidation of democracy in the region (Kurtz 2004a; Kurtz 2004b). It has been indicated that the decaying quality of the labor market, especially after the application of neoliberal policies (Lustig 1995; Weller and ECLAC 2001), has provoked the demobilization of organized workers in urban and rural areas making much more difficult the installation of “participatory democracies” in those countries (Huber, Rueschemeyer, and Stephens 1997). This paper examines the link between labor market informality and political participation in the Latin American context. Taking into account that the informal sector employed about 66% of the total urban Latin American workers between 1990 and 1999 (Ocampo et al. 2004), the study of the political engagement of informal workers becomes essential for understanding the broader question of political participation in Latin America during the neoliberal era. If informal workers participate less in politics, this undoubtedly would translate into problems of political representation in the newly established Latin American democracies, systematically biasing the system in favor of formal workers. In this paper, different modes of political participation and their link to occupational status are assessed, ranging from conventional ways to participate in politics, such as voting, to more unconventional modes, such as taking part in street demonstrations. The empirical analysis is based on survey data for El Salvador collected by the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) at Vanderbilt University.
