Desafíos y Perspectivas en el Contexto de la Economía Informal

Abstract

In the following article, an analysis has been carried out on the situation of labor informality
in the municipality of El Socorro, Santander, the vulnerability of informal workers has been
shown, who resort to this economy as a means of subsistence due to the lack of opportunities
in the formal sector. In this context, informality lacks adequate legal support, affecting access
to labor rights and economic stability. Throughout the article, the realities of how the
informal worker, despite facing multiple difficulties and limitations, manages to move
forward thanks to their resilience and ability to adapt will be evident. These workers represent
a significant part of the economy in municipalities such as El Socorro, Santander, many of
them must adapt to precarious working conditions and the absence of formal contracts, which
leaves them without legal guarantees and exposed to economic and health risks. The crucial
role they play in the local economy will be analyzed, which largely depends on their
activities, and the stories of effort and improvement that demonstrate their perseverance and
contribution to the development of the municipality will be highlighted. Likewise, proposals
for formalization policies and access to training and financing programs will be examined
that, with adequate implementation, could offer these workers the possibility of improving
their quality of life and accessing social benefits
