La Problemática del Análisis Laboral de Demanda en Colombia

This article is the departure
point towards the implementation of a
new methodological approach to the study
of the Colombian labor market. As this
approach is based on demand-side statistics, we present on detail and scope the
different dimensions of the troublesome
landscape to be found when approaching
labor demand-side analysis in Colombia.
The design of regulations, labor policy,
data availability and economic incentives
of agents are all inquired into. Conceptual
foundations of a new methodological,
that had not been applied for the Latin
American context, approach are presented.
We emphasize its remarkable potential on
sustaining policies against frictional and
cyclical unemployment.
