Les parece que en los siguientes ejemplos "leakage" puede ser "pérdida"? No estoy segura de su sentido aquí. Gracias!

Indirect job estimates are also highly sensitive to **leakage** created from the division between locally produced versus imported inputs.


Keeping in mind the shortcomings of these calculations—and adjusting for them with available data from LAC on wages, **leakages** by sub-sector, and skilled and unskilled labor divisions—the approach to calculating direct and indirect jobs may provide a basis for estimating the employment generation potential of investments in all areas of infrastructure in countries outside of the US.

pérdidas/reducciones
Explanation:
entiendo que en este caso se trata de que para calcular la generación de empleos indirectos en el propio país hay que tener en cuenta la pérdida o reducción de los mismos debida a que una parte de los insumos se importa.

omisión


Explanation:
A mi entender, en este caso la palabra "leakage" se refiere a una cierta cantidad de trabajos que no son tenidos en cuenta (es decir, que son omitidos o no contabilizados), debido a las propias dificultades del método de estimación.
Por eso, en el segundo párrafo, habla de ajustar esas omisiones (leakages) mediante un factor de corrección.
