Abstract

En este trabajo proponemos una metodología para identificar los cuatro tipos de informalidad en caso colombiano, que sigue lo que hicimos en Fernández et al. (2016), pero con mayor énfasis en el nivel educativo. Aunque la correspondencia está lejos de ser perfecta, mostramos que en términos generales, los trabajadores informales con educación primaria o menor pueden clasificarse en el grupo de informalidad de subsistencia, los trabajadores informales con educación secundaria pueden ser incluidos en el grupo de informalidad inducida, los trabajadores informales con educación terciaria o mayor pueden ser tratados como trabajadores informales voluntaries, y trabajadores informales con educación media pueden cubrir la informalidad mixta. Por lo tanto, las recomendaciones de política para manejar la informalidad entre cada grupo educativo son diferentes.
