Abstract

This paper is a preliminary approach to the study of the working poor in Colombia. Using data from the Continuous Household Survey and the Large Integrated Household Survey, the main poverty indicators for the workers are estimated, and it is shown poverty decomposition by geographical area between 2002 and 2012. After that, a socio-demographic and occupational characterization of the working poor is done. Although the poverty has gone down, the differences in the incidence and the intensity poverty between rural and urban areas are still important and it is found that the labor insertion is a fundamental aspect to understand the low incomes of the working poor.
