Abstract

La cada vez mayor presencia de un Sector Informal en el ámbito laboral urbano ha generado, al menos, tres lecturas del fenómeno: La que considera que es el resultado del funcionamiento del sistema capitalista, la que lo asocia a una estructura económica que transitaría con base en una racionalidad distinta a los supuestos de la teoría económica, y aquella que la toma como la acción racional de los individuos frente a un sistema con características mercantilistas y excluyentes. De allí surge la interrogante si la informalidad es una estrategia de sobrevivencia o es una alternativa de vida en una estructura económica híbrida. Los resultados alcanzados en esta investigación dan cuenta que la informalidad sería, evidentemente, una respuesta frente a un sistema discriminador contrario a los valores que sustentan una sociedad abierta.
