Abstract

This research was conducted in the informal sector with the objective of identifying the sociodemographic and labor characteristics of "tour guides", who are informal workers in the transportation center of Cúcuta, through a demographic study, information was collected for statistical data and action plans were established. The interest in this population is due to the accelerated increase of labor informality, establishing Cúcuta as the city with the highest labor informality in the nation (DANE, 2021) where out of 326,000 citizens, only 90,000 have a formal job. The methodology was descriptive, in order to answer research questions and test assumptions established in advance, and relies on numerical measurement, counting and often the use of statistics to accurately establish patterns in a population, for this reason it is implemented in this research, as a result it was found that 83% of the "tour guides" are the main economic source of their family and they lack healthy food, decent housing and sanitation.
