| description | The paper discusses the links between skill requirements in the labour market and alternative trade patterns using a CGE applied on updated data for Uruguay. The results for alternative scenarios in the long term show that, the wage gap would widen should the pattern of trade growth follow the current trend; however, an enhanced demand of commodities would favour a reduction in the wage gap. The exercises provide insights on the economy-wide effects in the long term of the interaction of trends in trade and accumulation of skills, and thus on the role of the current policy of development of human resources. |

Se analizan los vínculos entre las competencias que demanda el mercado laboral bajo patrones alternativos de comercio utilizando un modelo deequilibrio general computable (CGE) en base a datos actualizados del Uruguay. Los resultados muestran que, en el largo plazo, la brecha salarial se vería ampliada bajo el escenario de que el patrón de crecimiento del comercio siguiera la tendencia actual; sin embargo, una mayor demanda de materias primas podría favorecer una reducción de la brecha salarial. Los ejercicios realizados permiten conocer los efectos que sobreel total de la economía, y en el largo plazo, se derivan de la interacción delas tendencias en el comercio y la acumulación de capacidades, permitiendo de esta manera también analizar el efecto de las políticas actualesde desarrollo de recursos humanos.
