Although as simple as it may seem it is much more complex in calculating the unemployment rate than what meets the naked eye.

    World Bank sponsored reforms pushed the Bolivian government to sell 50 percent of its equity in the state oil company (YPFB) in 1996 to multiple multinational corporations (MNC’s)s, such as Enron and Shell (Hindery 281). Between 1997 and 2001, investment rose nearly five times than what was invested in the pre-privatization years (Hindery 282). The privatization of YPFB was spurred by U.S economic interests, due to the indication that funding privatization would benefit investors, create demand for equipment, open new markets, and create jobs (Hindery 288). The World Bank supported modification of policies, in hopes of the liberalization of trade in oil and natural gas, and made such modifications pre-conditions to be met for the approval of 30 million USD loan (Hindery 288, 289). Through these conditional loans the World Bank finances state institutions in Bolivia, which provides them with control over social and environmental regulations (Hindery 289).…
