Informality in trade: analyzing the problem from a general perspective.

Abstract

This article, from a reflexive perspective, exposes the causes associated with the growth of informality in commerce, trying to contextualize the socio-cultural environment of the Socorro municipality. For the development of the research, several studies, statistics and considerations were examined in national and international contexts, from highly industrialized countries with great economic growth, to countries considered as emerging economies, very similar to Colombia. Most of the material consulted, was obtained from publications made in specialized journals on the subject, allowing to approach the phenomenon from a more technical perspective. The results indicated the existence of various aspects as conditioning factors of the businesses. Within these, those related to the level of economic development and those concerning legislation are reiterative, although it is important to point out that it is difficult to rule out the complex interactions between these as conditioning factors of commercial informality
