Abstract

Este documento lleva a cabo un análisis de la informalidad en la vivienda y la informalidad laboral, de sus características, su dinámica temporal, la relación que existe entre ellas y los principales factores asociados a cada una. Los resultados muestran reducciones sistemáticas en cada uno de estos indicadores desde 2009, con diferenciales regionales y evidencia de persistencia, de modo que eventos de alta, media o baja informalidad en las ciudades tienden a permanecer en el tiempo. Adicionalmente, se encontró una estrecha relación entre los dos tipos de informalidad, en el corto y en el largo plazo, en donde la probabilidad de enfrentar una de ellas aumenta ante la presencia de la otra. Dentro de los factores asociados a estos dos fenómenos se encuentran además el ingreso, el tamano del hogar, la educación y la actividad económica de las empresas. ******ABSTRACT: In this paper an analysis of the labor informality and the informal settlements is carried out, together with their characteristics, dynamics, the relationship between them and their main influential factors. The results show systematic reductions in each of them since 2009, showing regional differences and a strong evidence of persistence, where high, medium, and low informality events in the cities tend to remain over time. In addition, it was found a close relationship between the two informalities, in the short and the long run, where the probability of being affected by one of them increases with the presence of the other. Within the main influential factors of these two phenomena we found income, household size, education and the firm’s economic activity.
