Factores limitantes para la inserción laboral de la última década en Colombia

Abstract

The main objective of this document was to determine the limiting factors for job placement in the last decade in Colombia, based on the documentary review, which included the quest, recovery, analysis, and interpretation of secondary data and electronic sources. Based on this review was possible to determine that there are various limiting factors in Colombia associated with cultural, political, social, and economic conditions, which over time have had an impact on situations of inequality and discrimination. The factors that stand out the most for this research were gender and age. For these factors, an analysis of the causes was carried out, as well as a contextualization of the problem and the exposition of a series of situations in which these inequalities are evidenced based on the statistics of the last ten years. Despite the fact that progress has been made in terms of labor equality and equity, this progress has not been enough to overcome the limitations faced by people in the workplace. On the other hand, it was indicated that labor equity and the elimination of gender and age barriers bring positive transformations in terms of opportunities, quality of life, and cultural and economic context. Finally, the conclusions, recommendations and challenges which the entire State should bet on the subject are presented.
