A contribution to the discussion on labor productivity in the argentine industry
Abstract
We understand that there is a consensus in a part of the field of critical economics in Argentina around the characterization of the Argentine industrial sector and, more specifically, the problems derived from its low productivity. From an “aggregate” view of the problem, this type of approach associates low productivity, small scale and technological delay and, among other things, maintains that these problems would be a constant of the national industry. For us, that this type of characterization on the problems of the argentine industrial system suffer from a series of important problems and ignore substantive transformations that have crossed the industry in the last decades. This work seeks to polemize with this type of reasoning, providing an alternative interpretation and showing a series of indicators that are inconsistent with proposals of this type.
Keywords: industry, productivity, automotive.
