Abstract

Resumen: este artículo muestra que Colombia parece tener niveles de salariomínimo e informalidad laboral mayores que los esperados de acuerdo con su ingreso per cápita, aunque no se encuentra entre los países de maxi salarios mínimos". La evidencia empírica descriptiva mostrada no parece apoyar el enfoque tradicional sobre la relación entre salario mínimo e informalidad. Esto significa que gobiernos, analistas y organizaciones multilaterales deberían ser prudentes cuando recomiendan para los países en desarrollo reducciones en el salario mínimo con el fin de mejorar el ingreso de los trabajadores informales. De gran importancia resulta modificar la política de salario mínimo contra-cíclica implementada en el período analizado, a juzgar por el comportamiento de sus niveles relativos. Finalmente, la política de salario mínimo en Colombia parece estar cambiando su objetivo, debido a la estrategia empresarial de eliminar la negociación colectiva descentralizada"
