The employment landscape across Latin America is undergoing significant transformation as we approach the end of 2025 and prepare for 2026. Key legislative proposals are reshaping workplace standards across the region. For example:
- Brazil, Chile, and Mexico have introduced stronger laws around equal pay, workplace harassment, and gender-focused labor inspections;
- Mexico and Chile are formalizing teleworking rights and obligations, reflecting broader digital shifts in the workplace; and
- Many Latin America countries are expanding statutory employment protections, including enhanced leave entitlements and new health and safety requirements.
