Abstract: Recientemente, las principales ciudades del Caribe colombiano han alcanzado las menores cifras de desempleo en el país. Sin embargo, presentan altas tasas de informalidad. Así, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la situación de la informalidad y la calidad del empleo, en las tres principales ciudades de esta región colombiana. En 2007-2018, la informalidad decreció y las condiciones de vida laboral, analizadas a través del índice multidimensional de calidad del empleo (IMCE), son poco atractivas, en particular, para los ocupados con bajo nivel educativo, empleados domésticos, por cuenta propia y los trabajadores de empresas pequenas. ****** The main cities of the Colombian Caribbean have recently reached the lowest unemployment figures in the country. However, they exhibit the highest informality rates. The objective of this paper is to analyse the situation of informality and the quality of employment in the three main cities of the Colombian Caribbean. The informality was reduced between 2007-2018 and the conditions of work life, studied through the Multidimensional Index of Quality of Employment (IMCE), are unattractive and less favourable for those with low educational level employment, domestic employees, self-employed workers, or those who work for small companies. ****** Recentemente, as principais cidades do Caribe colombiano atingiram os menores índices de desemprego do país.
