It was also found that the minimum wage had a positive effect in the short-term, but not in the long-term relationship; likewise, high inflation rates end up deteriorating the purchasing power of people. In the case of the income gap, it was found that the richest quintile has 57.21% of the income. Among the policy recommendations we’ve included the stimulation by the State of job-creating investment, flexibility in hiring in the event of an increase in unemployment, and credits for the agricultural sectors with the intention of increasing supply and maintaining constant prices. |
