Notes: ISCO 1 refers to “Managers”, ISCO 2 refers to “Professionals”, ISCO 3 refers to “Technicians and associate professionals”, ISCO 4 refers to “Clerical support workers”, ISCO 5 refers to “Service and sales workers”, ISCO 6 refers to “Skilled agricultural, forestry and fishery workers”, ISCO 7 refers to “Craft and related trades workers”, ISCO 8 refers to “Plant and machine operators, and assemblers” and ISCO 9 refers to “Elementary occupations”. The shares for the entire LAC region have been calculated as a weighted average of the population in each country, excluding Argentina and the Bahamas, which are not representative at the national level, and Nicaragua to be consistent with the scenario under imperfect compliance.
