La Misión Chenery: una invitación a pensar en el mediano y largo plazo

Hugo Lopez Castaño

Lecturas de Economía, 1986, issue 20, 153-175

Abstract: A Mission led by Hollis Chenery was formed in late 1984 to analyze Colombian unemployment and to design a strategy for dealing with it. There are two main problems: open unemployment in the modern sector is around 1.1000.000 and salaries in the informal sector (1.800.000 workers) are below the legal minimum. The two are connected. Informal sector output is sensitive to the demands of modern sector workers, and the unemployed in latter sector can flow across into the former. This paper discusses the nature of these distinct forms of unemployment and their influence on the aggregate measure. It also analyses the macroeconomic proposals of the Mission.
