Enfoques, conceptos y metodologías de medición de la informalidad laboral en Colombia

Author

Abstract

RESUMEN: Este trabajo compara los principales enfoques conceptuales y empíricos sobre la informalidad laboral en Colombia. Estos enfoques generalmente se remiten a las discusiones conceptuales que se han desarrollado en América Latina, y aplican mediciones propias que discrepan en la unidad de análisis y en los criterios de identificación de la informalidad. Utilizando como fuente la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares, se encuentra que la magnitud de la informalidad es diferente dependiendo del enfoque, teniendo un rango de 16 a 59%. Al comparar la metodología de medición de la informalidad laboral desde siete perspectivas, se encuentran diferencias en la magnitud de la informalidad, en su trayectoria reciente, en los individuos que se incluyen y en la influencia de algunos atributos socioeconómicos y ocupacionales sobre la probabilidad de ser trabajador informal.
