Abstract

En el presente documento se lleva a cabo un análisis del mercado laboral ibaguereno considerando factores relacionados con la demanda laboral. A través de un análisis Shift - Share se divide el crecimiento del empleo en sus tres componentes: nacional, estructural y regional o de competitividad, con el fin de evaluar las razones del menor crecimiento relativo del empleo en Ibagué. Se encontró que el efecto regional es el que más explica el menor crecimiento del empleo ibaguereno comparado con el registrado en las trece principales áreas. Con este resultado se argumenta que el elevado desempleo del Ibagué no se debe únicamente a su alta tasa global de participación, sino también a su menor generación de empleo, asociada al bajo crecimiento de su producto interno bruto.*****ABSTRACT: This paper develops an analysis of the labor market from Ibague considering factors related to labor demand. Through an analysis Shift - Share employment growth is divided into three components: national, structural and regional or competitiveness, in order to assess the reasons for the lower growth of employment at Ibague. It is found that the slower growth of employment is most explained by regional effect compared with that recorded in the thirteen major cities. With this result it is argued that high unemployment of Ibague is not only due to its high overall participation rate, but also to their lower employment generation, associated with low growth of gross domestic product.
