Abstract

En este documento se estudian los canales de información más utilizados en el mercado laboral colombiano. Se inicia esbozando la teoría de la información y su relación con la búsqueda de empleo. Continúa con el análisis de la relación entre la búsqueda de empleo y las redes o canales de información. Enseguida se exponen algunos modelos clásicos de búsqueda. Posteriormente se le da sustento empírico a lo planteado estudiando los canales concretos de búsqueda que utilizan los trabajadores colombianos. Se utiliza la información de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida (ECV) del DANE, aplicada en el ano 2003. Se encontró que el canal más utilizado para conseguir empleo en el mercado laboral colombiano es pedir ayuda a familiares, amigos o colegas, lo cual le da mayor relevancia al uso de los canales informales frente a los formales. Este predominio de los canales informales muestra que nuestro mercado laboral no se ha institucionalizado suficientemente, razón por la cual se encuentran grandes deficiencias en el proceso de intermediación laboral. El CIE del SENA constituye el canal formal que menor tiempo de búsqueda medio reporta, lo cual sugiere que es un mecanismo eficaz como intermediador del mercado laboral colombiano dado que su política de seguimiento de casos permite reducir efectivamente la asimetría de información, tanto por el lado de la oferta como de la demanda.
