Argentina labor market deteriorates: informal self-employment only growth area

Jorge Colina, president of IDESA, claims that the only growing segment in Argentina's labor market is informal self-employment, with more workers not even registering for the simplified tax regime (monotributo). This signals deepening labor informality and weak formal job creation, consistent with Argentina's ongoing economic stagnation. The claim is an expert assessment, not yet corroborated by official data, but it points to deteriorating household income prospects and potential social strain.
