Análisis de las Variables Generadas en la Informalidad Laboral en Colombia Antes y Después de la Pandemia de COVID 19

Abstract

This paper examines the evolution of labor informality indicators in the city of Bogotá before and after the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective is to compare the informality index in Colombia and to quantify the proportion of unregistered workers, both before and after the arrival of the coronavirus. The structure of the study includes an introduction with the thematic delimitation, specific purposes, state of the art and conceptualization. Next, the quantitative methodology is explained through the application of a survey to the informally employed population. This is followed by an analysis of the findings and conclusions derived from the fieldwork. The latter point to the devastating effect of the health crisis on the livelihoods of these workers, revealing the fragility of their domestic economies. The study emphasizes the urgent need for greater government support and comprehensive public policies to promote a transformation of informal employment.
