The recent analysis of labor market In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) reveals a nuanced situation, where macroeconomic figures hide structural challenges that deserve urgent attention. Although the CABA represents a significant percentage of both employees (25.7%) and employers (43.8%) nationwide, a deeper examination of the data reveals a persistent problem: work informality.

The numbers presented by the Labor Legal Consultant Chiesa & Delgado, with data updated to December 2024, paint a panorama where the fiscal pressure on employers and the lack of effective public policies to promote labor registration are the main obstacles to overcome. One of the most alarming data is the estimate that they exist around 130 thousand jobs not registered in the CABA. This figure, which represents approximately 9% of the total jobs in the city, demonstrates a problem that affects both workers, who lack social protection and basic labor rights, and employers who operate in formality and must compete with those who evade their fiscal obligations.

The analysis also highlights a disparity between the number of establishments/commercial premises and the number of employers, suggesting that many of these establishments operate without registered employees or, worse, in total informality. This situation not only harms workers, but also generates unfair competition that affects businesses and companies that comply with the law.

The tax burden faced by employers is another key factor to consider. According to the report, The total cost of an employer employee amounts to almost 130% of the gross salary, due to employer contributions, contributions to the art, the union and other encumbrances. This high fiscal pressure discourages formal contracting and encourages evasion, perpetuating the vicious circle of informality.

The employment situation in the CABA requires an integral approach that combines measures to relieve fiscal burden on employers, strengthen controls to combat evasion and promote public policies that encourage labor registration.

It is essential to create a simpler and more transparent regulatory framework, which facilitates compliance with tax and labor obligations, and that provides legal certainty to both employers and dependents, both parties trapped in a perverse and underground system. Only then can we build a more fair, equitable and sustainable labor market in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
