You think LATAM is in poverty because of their worker protections? Not the decades of western exploitation of their natural resources? Not the decades of American interference in their political systems to destabilize their government? Sure.

I'd also like to know what the United States informal labor rate is, but sadly that [4] link doesn't have it. So really, comparing to the UK is pointless without knowing what the US is. And if you think the US doesn't have informal labor, then I suggest you go to a Home Depot parking lot.

oh, and on the UK issue, did you look at the map on the link you sent? It says the UK's rate of informal employment is 6.5%, not 24%. Either start reading better or stop lying.

No, countries regularly go from poverty to wealth quickly. It's purely cultural which is upstream from policy.
