| description | Traditionally, the urban informal sector (UIS) has either not been taken into account in the design and application of economic policy or has been so erroneously, even though its presence modifies the evolution of the macroeconomic and distributive variables to a considerable extent. This fact, which arises in no small measure from the insufficiencies and inconsistencies of the conventional paradigm, explains in part in the achievement of its targets during the last years in Latin America. It is then necessary to analyze in detail the short run economic role of the UIS. When the author defines the latter as a sector of economy, on account of its peculiar economic rationality and of the existence of various and complex supply and demands mechanisms through which it relates to the rest of the economy, he lays down the foundations of a new theoretical point of view on the UIS, which, on the other hand, is intimately linked in its conception with the evolution of the relevant literature in the last fifteen years. The analysis of the design of economic policy in general to improve but also to take into consideration the situation of low income groups and to appreciate the latter's capacity to collaborate in the processes of adjustment, reactivation, and growth. |

El sector informal urbano: La inconsistencia del paradigma convencional y un nuevo enfoque. De la Piedra, Enrique Traditionally, the urban informal sector (UIS) has either not been taken into account in the design and application of economic policy or has been so erroneously, even though its presence modifies the evolution of the macroeconomic and distributive variables to a considerable extent. This fact, which arises in no small measure from the insufficiencies and inconsistencies of the conventional paradigm, explains in part in the achievement of its targets during the last years in Latin America. It is then necessary to analyze in detail the short run economic role of the UIS. When the author defines the latter as a sector of economy, on account of its peculiar economic rationality and of the existence of various and complex supply and demands mechanisms through which it relates to the rest of the economy, he lays down the foundations of a new theoretical point of view on the UIS, which, on the other hand, is intimately linked in its conception with the evolution of the relevant literature in the last fifteen years. The analysis of the design of economic policy in general to improve but also to take into consideration the situation of low income groups and to appreciate the latter's capacity to collaborate in the processes of adjustment, reactivation, and growth. Tradicionalmente, la consideración del Sector Informal Urbano (SIU) en el diseño y aplicación de la política económica ha sido nula o errada, a pesar de que su presencia modifica en grado apreciable la evolución de las variables macroeconómicas y distributivas. Este hecho, que surge en buena medida debido a las insuficiencias e inconsistencias del paradigma convencional, explica en parte el reiterado fracaso de la política económica en el logro de sus metas durante los últimos años en América Latina. Por ello, es necesario analizar detenidamente el rol económico de corto plazo del SIU. Al definir a este último como un sector de la economía, debido a su racionalidad económica particular y a la existencia de variados y complejos mecanismos de oferta y demanda a través de los cuales se relaciona con el resto de la economía, el autor sienta las bases de un nuevo enfoque teórico sobre el SIU, por otro lado, se encuentra intimamente ligado en su concepción a la evolución de la literatura relevante durante los últimos quince años. El análisis de los postulados del nuevo enfoque permitirá no sólo mejorar la formulación de la política económica en general, sino también atender en forma específica a las necesidades de los grupos de bajos ingresos asi como aprovechar la capacidad de estos últimos para colaborar en los procesos de ajuste, reactivación y crecimiento. 1986-01-08 2022-03-17T18:47:41Z 2022-03-17T18:47:41Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/225 10.21678/apuntes.18.225 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/52556 spa https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/225/227 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
