Abstract

Este ensayo presenta un balance de los aspectos sustanciales expuestos en el informe ejecutivo de la Misión de Empleo 2021. De un lado identifica la propuesta de Protección Social Universal como la más importante contribución para el devenir de la vida laboral de los colombianos, en particular por su modalidad de financiación y los beneficios para la población y las empresas. Del otro lado, puntualiza aspectos críticos ignorados por la Misión conexos con el problema de la ocupación en la economía informal y el empleo formal del país; controvierte el diagnóstico y las recomendaciones sobre el salario mínimo y discute la inconveniencia para que el país retorne a un esquema de Salario Mínimo diferencial. Se argumenta por qué el crecimiento de la economía generado por el modelo de desarrollo económico extractivista del país y las reformas al marco jurídico laboral, en los últimos 40 anos, han probado ser variables poco eficientes para superar la economía informal y el desempleo, lo que estaría significando la necesidad, no contemplada por la Misión, para que el país implemente audaces políticas sociales y económicas que provoquen transformaciones estructurales definitivas. *** This essay presents a balance of the substantial aspects exposed in the executive report of the Employment Mission 2021. On the one hand, it identifies the Universal Social Protection proposal as the most important contribution to the future of the working life of Colombians, in particular by its method of financing and the benefits for the population and companies. On the other hand, it points out critical aspects ignored by the Mission related with the problem of employment in the informal economy and formal employment in the country; it disputes the diagnosis and the recommendations on the minimum wage and discusses the inconvenience for the country to return to a differential Minimum Wage scheme. It argues why the growth of the economy generated by the country's extractivist economic development model and the reforms to the labor legal framework, in the last 40 years, have proven to be inefficient variables to overcome the informal economy and unemployment, which it would be signifying the need, not contemplated by the Mission, for the country to implement bold social and economic policies that provoke definitive structural transformations.
