The report from the Informal Work Observatory reveals a critical paradox in the Argentine technology industry: while employment continues to grow steadily, workers' purchasing power is deteriorating. This divergence shows that the sector's rapid expansion is not translating into wage improvements for the workforce, contradicting the popular narrative of high incomes in the field and highlighting a structural inequity in the distribution of wealth generated by the industry. The evidence underscores that, despite receiving substantial state subsidies under legal frameworks such as the Knowledge Economy Law, the benefits are disproportionately concentrated in large corporations. This pattern of fiscal promotion favors a handful of mega-corporations rather than boosting micro and small enterprises, which make up the majority of the ecosystem. This suggests that current policies are not aligned with the goal of fostering a more diverse and equitable business landscape. This analysis is crucial for the open data community, as it demonstrates the value of transparency and access to public information for validating or refuting sectoral assumptions. By cross-referencing employment data with information on subsidies and salaries, it becomes possible to expose how public policies truly impact workers compared to large corporations. This highlights the need for civil society and labor unions to use open data to demand accountability and design fairer, more efficient labor policies.
