Abstract

Este estudio analiza los determinantes del empleo informal en Bolivia mediante una combinación de técnicas econométricas tradicionales, métodos de machine learning y enfoques híbridos. Utilizando datos de las Encuestas de Ho-gares 2022 y 2023, se identifican los factores individuales y del hogar que influyen en la probabilidad de pertenecer al empleo informal. Los resultados muestran que variables como la edad, el nivel educativo, el ingreso del hogar y el género son deter-minantes clave. El Random Forest destaca el papel central de los ingresos laborales, usualmente excluidos por problemas de endogeneidad. El Adaptive Lasso permite identificar relaciones no lineales e interacciones complejas, como las asociadas al gé-nero, la pertenencia a grupos originarios y la presencia de niños pequeños en el hogar. Se concluye que el fenómeno del empleo informal responde a dinámicas multidimensionales que requieren enfoques analíticos integradores para el diseño de políticas públicas más efectivas y focalizadas.
