Abstract

Más del 60% de los trabajadores en el mundo se encuentra en el sector informal. En el caso de la minería, la informalidad no sólo representa ausencia de prestaciones sociales y pago de impuestos. También existen externalidades ambientales, conflictos sociales y riesgos laborales. En este documento presentamos estadísticas descriptivas de una encuesta realizada a mineros en Colombia. Encontramos que las minas formales reciben en promedio un precio de venta 30% más alto que las informales. Con este diferencial estimamos que los costos de formalización se recuperan en 2 a 4 anos aproximadamente . De hecho, el 80% de los mineros consideran rentable formalizarse, pero solo la mitad lo ha intentado. A pesar de los beneficios económicos, los mineros mencionan barreras administrativas por parte del gobierno que impiden la formalización.
