Abstract

Este documento presenta proyecciones de la fuerza laboral (o fuerza de trabajo) en Colombia hasta 2070, en el contexto del cambio demográfico y sus implicaciones económicas. Los cálculos se hacen a partir de microdatos de la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH), proyecciones poblacionales del DANE y estimaciones de la CEPAL sobre la evolución futura de la fuerza laboral colombiana hasta 2050. Adicionalmente, se consideran escenarios alternativos que incorporan la reciente disminución de la tasa de nacimientos en el país. Con base en las proyecciones originales de población total del DANE, la fuerza de trabajo comenzaría a disminuir a partir del año 2054. No obstante, en los escenarios alternativos, el comienzo de esta reducción se anticiparía alrededor de 10 años, ocurriendo entre 2043 y 2045. En todos los escenarios alternativos, la fuerza de trabajo continuará creciendo a una tasa superior a la de la población total durante un par de décadas más. **** ABSTRACT: This document presents projections of Colombia’s labor force until 2070 in the context of demographic change and its economic implications. The calculations are based on microdata from the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH), population projections from DANE, and estimates from CEPAL on the future evolution of Colombia’s labor force until 2050. Additionally, alternative scenarios are considered, incorporating the recent decline in the country’s birth rate. Based on DANE’s original population projections, the labor force would begin to decline starting in 2054. However, in alternative scenarios, the beginning of this decline would occur approximately 10 years earlier, between 2043 and 2045. In all alternative scenarios, the labor force will continue to grow at a higher rate than the total population for a couple more decades.
