La calidad de vida en los vendedores informales en Girón, Santander

Abstract

The purpose of this investigative document is to show the details of the situation of the quality of life of informal vendors in the main park of Girón, Santander. The main objective of the project is to determine the relationship between the quality of life and the economic benefits of the street vendors of the Girón park for the contribution to the public policy of the labor sector. In order to recognize the fundamental aspects when talking about quality of life in an informal situation and how, through strategies leveraged from local governments, programs and actions can be designed that help in part to overcome the weaknesses of informality, especially all in times of health emergency like the current one. In order to carry out this research, it is expected that a series of surveys will be carried out on each of the street vendors in the sector in which socioeconomic and labor information can be found also making use of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire which contains 26 self-assessment questions, in order to measure the relationship between quality of life and work activity using an inferential statistical model with the chi-square test methodology that allows us to explain the economic relationships in which two or more variables intervene, as in this case. The procedure is carried out with the inferential statistical model since with this the relationship between the two variables can be determined, the independent variable being work activity that explains the dependent variable, which is quality of life. The vendors in the main park of Girón are part of the informal workers of the metropolitan area of ​​Bucaramanga that form the largest group of the labor force. Although they are a major driving force in the region's economy, they have a low quality of life and are plagued with financial and health problems.
