Abstract

Este documento describe y analiza la reforma laboral contenida en la ley 789 de 2002. A partir de cuantificaciones de reducción en costos laborales inducidas por la reforma, calculamos el potencial impacto sobre empleo. Estimamos que la reforma podría generar un aumento en el rango de 49,250 a 142,500 nuevos empleos durante los próximos cuatro años. Sin embargo, para disminuir la tasa de desempleo a 12% es necesario complementar la reforma con otras iniciativas como, por ejemplo, la retención escolar planteada en el Plan de Desarrollo. Además de la creación de nuevos empleos, la reforma podría inducir formalización del mercado laboral y aumentos de la elasticidad ingreso de la demanda por trabajo.
