The report presents, first, a theoretical framework whose purpose is to organize the ideas that guide the study, identifying the principal variables and hypotheses. Next, the results are presented, bearing in mind the history of the institutional environment and aspects relating to the specific “universe” of labor relations. The final section, which contains conclusions, summarizes the most relevant observations and presents for consideration a “labor relations development index. ” The index is based on nominal variables that indicate the existence or non-existence of a set of situations considered key to building an institutional infrastructure that promotes valuable results from the perspective of the public interest.
