Abstract

Los mercados laborales locales en Colombia son heterogéneos y con importantes diferecias geográficas. En las ciudades de la región Caribe coexisten una alta informalidad laboral y relativamente bajas tasas de desempleo en comparación con el resto del país. Este trabajo ahonda en las características de la oferta y demanda en el mercado de trabajo en el caribe colombiano y se estima la curva de Beveridge para tener una primera aproximación al potencial desequilibrio existente. Este estudio identifica dos factores que pueden ser los causantes de los resultado de equilibrio general particulares que se observan en la región. Por el lado de la demanda, se encuentra una menor creación de vacantes formales en el Caribe, laboral y, por el lado de la oferta, se documentan fallas en calidad y pertinencia de la educación de la fuerza laboral regional. Ambos factores en conjunto pueden explicar el menor dinamismo del mercado laboral del Caribe, que conlleva a diferencias en los indicadores laborales de las ciudades capitales de esta región versus el resto de las áreas metropolitanas del país. **** ABSTRACT: Local labor markets in Colombia are exceptionally heterogeneous. In particular, the cities of the Caribbean region have higher labor informality and lower unemployment rates, compared to the rest of the country. This work is part of a research agenda on local labor markets in Colombia, based on a purely descriptive approach that delves into the characteristics of labor supply and demand and its imbalance. Particularly, this study identifies potential factors that differentiate labor indicators in the Caribbean region from other cities.
