Source: Harmonised Household Surveys of Latin America and the Caribbean, authors’ own calculations
Notes: For each country, we selected the latest harmonised survey available, except for Costa Rica for which we selected the year 2013. The reason for this is that this survey provides a variable at the 4-digit level needed to construct our standardised 2-digit ISIC classification. From 2014 onwards, this variable does not appear in the survey
a For Argentina and the Bahamas, the sample is restricted to urban areas, while the other countries have national representativeness
