ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution of progress on decent work to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Guatemala. The study is based on indicators outlined in the System of Decent Work Indicators for Guatemala (SITDG in Spanish; see Coyoy (2013)), which was developed by the Association for Research and Social Studies (ASIES in Spanish) of Guatemala. Data were processed from Guatemala’s 2012 National Survey of Employment and Income (INE, 2012).
