The principal objective of this paper is to study the effects of Mexico's recent economic reforms on employment and labour productivity. The author argues that the globalization and modernization entailed by the reforms tended to accentuate the structural heterogeneity and the differentials in productivity levels between different sectors.While in formal activities the growth rate of labour productivity accelerated, the contrary occurred in informal activities. Given the relatively moderate rate of increase in output and employment of formal activities, it is very likely that the greater heterogeneity has contributed to the decrease in the average growth rate of labour productivity as observed in Mexico in the period studied.
