| description | Economic growth has been on the rise in Colombia and surpassed 6% in 2006 and 2007. Has growth been enough to absorb Colombian workers? Jobless growth seems to have marked Colombia’s recent economic history. Over time, periods of high growth in Colombia have been associated with increases in employment. During periods of high growth (1974-80 and 1985-1994), one percent increase in Colombian manufacturing GDP translated into an increase of about 0.3 to 0.5 percent in employment. However, during the most recent growth period (20012005), permanent manufacturing employment simply dropped. Growth in small firms, particularly those in light and heavy industries, producing for the domestic market was the one segment of the economy with employment growth over the latter period.Key Words: Wage trends, employment-wage trade-off, labour market institutions, comparative economic growth. |

El despertar de un tigre Andino: ¿Puede el crecimiento creciente de Colombia crear suficiente empleo? Escobar-Espinoza, Andres Economic growth has been on the rise in Colombia and surpassed 6% in 2006 and 2007. Has growth been enough to absorb Colombian workers? Jobless growth seems to have marked Colombia’s recent economic history. Over time, periods of high growth in Colombia have been associated with increases in employment. During periods of high growth (1974-80 and 1985-1994), one percent increase in Colombian manufacturing GDP translated into an increase of about 0.3 to 0.5 percent in employment. However, during the most recent growth period (20012005), permanent manufacturing employment simply dropped.

El crecimiento económico estuvo en ascenso en Colombia, alcanzando y sobrepasando tasas del 6% durante 2006 y 2007. ¿El crecimiento económico ha sido suficiente para absorber a los trabajadores colombianos? El denominado “crecimiento sin empleo” parece estar presente en la historia reciente de Colombia. En el transcurso del tiempo, periodos de alto crecimiento económico estuvieron asociados con el aumento del empleo. Durante periodos de alto crecimiento (1974-80 y 1985-1994), el incremento en un punto porcentual del PIB manufacturero colombiano representó un incremento de 0.3 a 0.5 puntos porcentuales en la creación de empleo. Sin embargo, durante el periodo reciente de recuperación económica (2001-2005), el empleo permanente en el sector industrial simplemente se redujo. El crecimiento de las pequeñas empresas, en particular, aquellas involucradas en la industria liviana y pesada, y enfocadas al mercado nacional, representa el segmento de la economía con incrementos en el empleo durante el último periodo.Palabras Clave: Tendencias Salariales, Intercambio empleo-salario, Instituciones Laborales, Crecimiento Económico Comparativo Universidad de Cartagena 2009-01-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unicartagena.edu.co/index.php/panoramaeconomico/article/view/371 10.32997/2463-0470-vol.17-num.17-2009-371 Panorama Económico Journal; Vol. 17 (2009); 154-191 Panorama Económico; Vol. 17 (2009); 154-191 Panorama Económico; v. 17 (2009); 154-191 2463-0470 0122-8900 10.32997/2463-0470-vol.17-num.17-2009 spa https://revistas.unicartagena.edu.co/index.php/panoramaeconomico/article/view/371/324 /*ref*/Diaz A.
