Abstract

Este trabajo explora la relación entre pobreza multidimensional e informalidad laboral contextualizándolas en la economía popular Argentina, la cual concentra a más de cuatro millones de trabajadores/as. En América Latina y, particularmente, en Argentina se han implementado un gran número de políticas para fomentar la formalización de trabajos populares como estrategia de desarrollo social. Esta monografía cuestiona cómo afecta la formalización del trabajo informal independiente de los barrios populares a la pobreza y sus dimensiones, considerando que su mera existencia constituye una violación a los derechos humanos inherentes a toda persona. Teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico de mercados informales multisegmentados y en base a una revisión sistemática exploratoria de la literatura internacional y el Registro Nacional de Trabajadores/as de la Economía Popular, utilizo un método mixto para indagar y comprender las posibles consecuencias de la inserción laboral de trabajadores/as individuales de barrios populares a su situación de pobreza. Combino esta base teórica con un análisis sobre la política de Monotributo Social en Argentina desde sus comienzos en 2004 hasta el 2020, con el fin de formular recomendaciones que permitan mejorar las políticas de inserción laboral en clave de derechos humanos que contemplen la complejidad del entramado social y popular.
