Análisis del fenómeno de informalidad laboral en Norte de Santander en el año 2021.

Abstract

The International Labor Organization defines labor informality as those economic activities and occupations that (in law or in practice) are not covered or are insufficiently covered by formal systems. Given that this is both a social problem (since it violates the rights of workers to have all the benefits required of a job) and an economic one (since informality brings with it problems in the labor market and impedes economic growth and development), That is why this monograph aims to be able to contribute to the analysis and characterization of labor informality in the department of Norte de Santander for the year 2021, since, although a lot has been said about this topic, especially at the level of its capital Cúcuta, it is necessary to analyze what happens with the informality of the rest of the department. The methodology focuses on the analysis with a descriptive qualitative approach and data provided by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) in its large integrated household survey (GEIH) for the year 2021. Thus, the results show that the population in condition of labor informality in Norte de Santander is mainly characterized by having little income; poor access to education and low educational levels; little social security coverage; unstable jobs with long hours of work, also, that even though in Colombia and in the department, there are laws and programs that address this problem, the rate of labor informality is still very high.
