En 1992, ce programme a créé 20 jours de travail environ par participant, soit 62 jours de travail par famille (Subbarao et coll., 1997). Des programmes similaires, mais sur une moindre échelle, ont aussi été mis en route dans les zones urbaines et rurales de pays d'Amérique latine, tels que la Bolivie, le Chili et le Honduras.

26. According to a recent study (OECD, 1999) on employment protection, there appears to be little or no association between the strictness of employment protection legislation (EPL) and overall unemployment. However, the study does point out that regulations may have hit adversely younger and older workers but not prime age men. Another finding of the study is that fewer individuals become unemployed in those countries where employment protection is stricter, but once unemployed, they have a higher risk of remaining unemployed for a long period of time. A recent ILO paper shows that in some European countries with high employment protection legislation (such as Spain and Italy), labour court rulings on disputes arising from termination of employment contracts might be more favourable to workers since the level of unemployment insurance beneficiaries is so low -- less than 20 per cent of the total unemployed (Bertola, Boeri and Cazes, 1999). More research would be needed on the question of whether there is a basic trade-off between dismissal protection at the firm level and unemployment insurance protection at the macro level, and how changes in one system might affect the other (Auer, 1999).
