Bolivia employment facts
Preview for press, not yet published. The numbers are final and the citation is stable; the announcement is not out yet, so this page is not indexed.
These are the 14 statutory values we hold for Bolivia in Global Employment Facts (Employ Borderless), 7 of them read from a statute or the government that administers it. Each row names the page it came from, the date the figure took effect and the date a person last checked it. They are legal minimums, not what employers in Bolivia actually offer, and they are what our three published indexes score Bolivia on.

Where a field is missing from this table, we hold no sourced value for Bolivia and publish the gap rather than filling it. Where a statute and a compilation disagree, the statute wins.
