Abstract: Informal work in Colombia is very high compared to the standards of the region. These are workers whose economic insertion is not tied to social security. Now the government intends to tax these sectors by creating the 'monotributo' (single tax), though it is difficult to impose taxes on a population that lacks social rights: taxation is a social contract. Economic and social insecurity has forced families to become economic units and to assume social protection. This off course has effects on the configuration of society, and thus should be studied.
