IV and V The Coalition governments have many similarities but a fundamental difference. One similarity: Andres Velasco and Felipe Larrain, their ministers, are first-line economists and serious types (conditions that are not always copular). One difference: the President of the Fourth Government had no economic development specialist and was only limited demagogic, so he sacrificed his populist impulses when his finance minister made him see the economic reasons for not achieving them, but instead the President of V Government, having a thorough training in economics, is a demagogue in the entire line and ignored the warnings of his finance minister, because he wants the popularity of short-term rather than long-term progress.
For that in the Bachelet government's populist pushes Osvaldo Andrade and Francisco Vidal failed. Both now say the six-month postnatal should have set them. Of course. But Andres Velasco was strongly opposed and the president backed him up. But now comes up populism and Larraín minister has to resign themselves to abide by it, no other opportunity to express their anger to be absent from public events enshrine it. Even the Labour Minister, who also is an economist trained and who had long before being minister, had been warning against the risks of postnatal six months for the employability of women, now you're working in your wallet switched sides and aligned itself with demagogy. Pity
women seeking work, especially the poorest. Have less chances of finding employment. And women who have jobs they will realize, sooner than later, they are the ones who will pay the cost of postnatal six months, because their home pay will drop to offset the higher cost of hiring is going to represent this alleged benefit. As employers tend to reduce take-home pay to offer their employees.
When another year figures are published announcing that the pay of women is still far lower than on to men, we must remember that six months postnatal. Without prejudice to the possibility of moving the men a few weeks of postnatal care - an idea which is already a demagogic frenzy unforeseen - will also negatively affect male employability. For future
see that unemployment does not decrease but increases, think of all these "gifts from heaven" that are so widely celebrated. Economy because "there is no such thing as a free lunch," said Milton Friedman.
are the consequences of demagoguery. So the IV Government, with technical finance minister imposed their views in this area offered more guarantees for growth V future that this Government, where the technical finance minister must accept that populism will prevail on its view as an economist responsible for making Chile a developed country.
