| Resumen: |
Este libro presenta a los lectores el concepto y las teorÃas del trabajo decente y proporciona un marco para medirlo a nivel micro, meso y macro en un paÃs determinado. Además, aborda la importancia de medir el trabajo decente en el mundo actual y en relación con los diferentes desafÃos que enfrentan los paÃses dependiendo de su respectiva etapa de desarrollo. La esencia del libro radica en resaltar las aplicaciones prácticas del trabajo decente en términos de su capacidad para ofrecer mediciones empÃricas de fenómenos cualitativos y subjetivos con un enfoque de métodos mixtos que combina herramientas y técnicas de la economÃa y la estadÃstica. Además, como la aplicabilidad del trabajo decente no se limita a la industria de TI y a los sectores formales de la economÃa, el libro también proporciona directrices útiles sobre cómo se pueden realizar estudios empÃricos adicionales para medir el trabajo decente en industrias no relacionadas con TI. Como tal, el libro ofrece una rica recopilación de contribuciones empÃricas y teóricas sobre el trabajo decente diseñada no sólo para enriquecer la comprensión de los lectores, sino también para promover la conciencia sobre la relevancia práctica y los aspectos técnicos del tema. |

| Summary : |
This book introduces readers to the concept and theories of decent work and provides a framework for measuring it at the micro, meso and macro level in a given country. Further, it addresses the importance of measuring decent work in today's world and in connection with the different challenges countries face depending on their respective stage of development. The essence of the book lies in highlighting the practical applications of decent work in terms of its ability to deliver empirical measurements of qualitative and subjective phenomena with a mixed-methods approach combining tools and techniques from economics and statistics. Moreover, as the applicability of decent work is not confined to the IT industry and formal sectors of the economy, the book also provides useful guidelines on how further empirical studies can be undertaken to measure decent work in non-IT industries. As such, the book offers a rich compilation of empirical and theoretical contributions on decentwork designed to not only enrich readers' understanding, but also promote awareness of the practical relevance and technical aspects of the subject matter. |
