In the Latin America and the Caribbean region, labor income is the most important component of income among the poor, and continues to be the biggest driver of poverty reduction. This section focuses on three aspects related to the labor market. First, it includes comparative data on the main labor market indicators. Second, it presents data on youth who are neither in school nor employed, a sizeable and particularly vulnerable group. Lastly, it presents a poverty index based on labor force survey data that is collected and disseminated with much higher frequency, and which thus acts as a leading indicator of poverty.

The Labor Markets section of the LAC Equity Lab includes the following data:

	Labor Force Labor market indicators by indicators for poverty and education for LAC countries.
	Youth Outcomes (Ninis) The proportion of youth, by age groups and gender, that is in school, employed (not in school), and not in school or employment (NiNis) by country.
	Labor Income Poverty Index (LIPI) Poverty based on per capita labor income under three different regional poverty lines using labor force surveys. Also inequality based on per capita labor income using the Labor Income Gini Index (LIGI).
	Job Quality Index (JQI) Job Quality Index and dimensions by area, gender, age, sector and type of worker for LAC countries.
	Labor Income and Wage Distribution Distributional measures of total monthly labor income and hourly wage using the Gini Index and mean values by decile across the working-age population.
	Informality Indicators Measures of waged employment and informality from social protection and productivity definitions, broken down by demographic groups of the working-age population (15+ years).
	Wage and Income Mean monthly labor income, and mean hourly wage broken down by demographic groups of the working-age population (15+ years).
	Workers Total population (15+ years) and workforce demographic distribution by Latin American country.
