Labor rights and regulation in South America

Overview

Labor issues in Chile and Argentina have centered on unemployment support, occupational safety, and the regulation of digital work.

In Chile, discussions have addressed unemployment mechanisms such as the Unemployment Insurance, the Solidarity Unemployment Fund, and the Unemployment Subsidy following a 9.6% unemployment rate. Additionally, authorities in Arica and Parinacota have conducted information sessions regarding occupational health and safety for fee-based workers, emphasizing risk prevention and the right to decent work under national law.

In Argentina, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Labor has engaged in forums regarding digital platforms and informality. Efforts include a provincial bill intended to regulate and inspect work performed through digital platforms, aiming to align local standards with International Labour Organization Convention 193 to address precarious labor in the transport, delivery, and knowledge economy sectors.
