El rol que desempeña la mujer rural en el mercado laboral de Norte de Santander-Colombia (2015-2023).

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors influencing the participation of rural women in the labor market of Norte de Santander between 2015 and 2023. The main objectives include examining the labor participation of rural women, identifying trends in the labor market, and evaluating its sectoral distribution. The methodology was developed through descriptive analysis and the evaluation of relevant public policies. The results indicate significant fluctuations in labor participation, with a notable decrease in the Occupation Rate (OR) and the Global Participation Rate (GPR) during the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a slight recovery in 2023. Additionally, the sectoral distribution shows a shift of rural women from agriculture to commerce and services. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implement effective public policies that promote labor inclusion and improve the quality of working conditions for women in rural sectors, including training and access to productive resources, to address the identified issues and foster economic development in the region.
