Abstract

Durante la década de los noventa, Colombia experimentó un cambio profundo en el comportamiento del mercado asalariado formal. Reformas al modelo de seguridad social, recesión a finales de la década y otros factores tuvieron un efecto negativo en el comportamiento del mercado laboral, ya que este tipo de empleo se hizo más oneroso tanto para empleadores como para trabajadores. La pérdida de oportunidades en el sector asalariado, especialmente para los más vulnerables, fue propiciando lentamente el crecimiento de la actividad por cuenta propia. La literatura ha señalado que esto provocó un fenómeno denominado la hipótesis de segmentación en el mercado laboral. En este documento se analiza dicho fenómeno a través de un canal empírico alternativo a la literatura reciente: las transiciones laborales. Para esto se analizaron los flujos laborales y se estimaron sus determinantes. Los resultados de estos ejercicios indican que durante el período considerado hubo un cambio masivo y sostenido del sector asalariado formal hacia el sector por cuenta propia informal. Se comprobó que la base de estos movimientos fue el efecto de la salida involuntaria del empleo anterior.
