Venezuela, desindustrialización prematura y productividad
Industrial employment collapsed from 21.5% to 3.5% of the total between 2015 and 2023, while services rose to 84% — a services share exceeding that of the United States in an economy with 5% of US labour productivity. The composition matters: in the US, services…

Venezuelan women work longer total hours than men — 12h49m daily against 11h34m — while participating in paid work at barely half the male rate (31% against 54%). An estimated 15.4 million people perform unpaid care work, 65% of them women, valued at between US$0.84…

Violencia basada en género en la política venezolana: Un análisis de datos en redes sociales
Beyond receiving 41% more violent tweets than male counterparts, women political activists respond differently: harassment appears to inhibit their subsequent posting while not inhibiting men’s, effectively truncating their political speech.

¿Venezuela se arregló?: Tendencias recientes en la distribución del ingreso
The richest decile gained 91% while the poorest lost 11%, and growth rates rise monotonically across the distribution — every decile grew faster than the one below it. The bottom 30% saw no real improvement at all. Constructed as a growth incidence curve from ENCOVI…

Remesas, Pobreza y Distribución del Ingreso en Venezuela: ¿Qué dice la evidencia?
Remittances reach 24.3% of Venezuelan households and supply 59% of total income in the poorest quintile against 37% in the richest. The identification is clean: recipient and non-recipient households show statistically identical poverty rates of 66% once remittances are stripped out, so the difference between…
