Abstract

Este documento tiene como objetivo establecer las causas que han llevado a Pereira a ubicarse como la ciudad con la tasa de desempleo más alta, entre las 13 principales ciudades de Colombia. Para ello, se presentan estimaciones econométricas de modelos de participación y demanda laboral, utilizando información de las 13 principales ciudades y sus áreas metropolitanas reportadas en la Encuesta Continua de Hogares para los períodos 2001:01 a 2006:06 y la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares para los períodos 2006:07 a 2009:12. Nuestros resultados indican que, en buena medida, la alta tasa de desempleo de Pereira se explica por la crisis de España ya que su tasa de desempleo y las remesas que provienen de allí afectan la probabilidad de participar en el mercado de trabajo de Pereira. Desde el punto de vista de la demanda de trabajo, los aumentos del salario mínimo pueden ser incompatibles con el bajo nivel educativo de la población y hacer que la mano de obra parezca costosa en relación con su productividad.
