title: Location, social categories, and individual labor market experiences in developing economies:  the Venezuelan case.
abstract: "Individual labor market experiences [in Venezuela] are examined in terms of educational attainment, labor force participation, and wages received.  Explanatory factors include personal attributes and two multivariate scales measuring place characteristics related to development. The results indicate that place characteristics associated with development have important effects on labor market experiences.... Among the key findings of this research are that educational attainment most affected labor force participation by women and wages of men."
