Global change, economic restructuring and labour market issues in Mexico City

Abstract

This paper analyses how economic effects driven by the process of globalization, such as those generated by the rise in international trade and in flows of foreign direct investment, have modified the local economy and in particular, job structures. The case of Mexico City is used in order to explore the effect of these economic activities on the labour markets of the manufacturing and service sectors.
