Abstract
La informalidad laboral tiene un gran peso sobre la economía mundial
y Colombia no es la excepción; históricamente el país se ha caracterizado
por manejar altas tasas de informalidad relacionadas a su vez con variables
indicadoras de pobreza. El propósito del documento es analizar este vínculo1
en las 13 principales ciudades y áreas metropolitanas de Colombia, bajo el
escenario COVID-19. Con este objetivo, se realizó un análisis de correlación
simple y un modelo probit que mide el impacto de variables que componen el
Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional (IPM) y variables sociodemográficas (edad
y género), sobre la probabilidad de ser empleado informal. El estudio da como
resultado que la variable que más impacta esta probabilidad es la pobreza
monetaria. Finalmente, se describe la importancia de reducir la informalidad
para avanzar en el cumplimiento de las metas nacionales relacionadas con la
Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible
Labour informality has major relevance on the world economy and Colombia is no exception; historically the country has been characterised by elevated rates of informality related to poverty indicator variables. The purpose of the document is to analyse this relation in the 13 main cities and metropolitan areas of Colombia, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this objective, the study performs a simple correlation analysis and a probit model that measures the impact of the variables that integrate the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and socio-demographic variables (age and gender) on the probability of being informally employed. The results expose that Monetary Poverty is the variable that has the most impact in this probability. Finally, this document highlights the importance of reducing informality in order to advance in the achievement of the national goals related to The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
