Abstract: This article examines the proposals (diagnosis, models and forecasts analyzed by the OIT Mission in 1970 and the Chenery Mission in 1986, concerning the employment problem, in Colombia. The former’s main idea is that the employment problem has in the economy's structural incapacity to supply the jobs required by the growth of the economically active urban population. Likewise, its analysis not only included open unemployment but also underemployment and the phenomena of low incomes. The Chenery Mission, on the other hand, emphasizes on the current unemployment situation explained in terms of the level and rhythm of economic activity. Consequently, despite the agreement in some of the proposals recommended by both Missions, the OIT proposal aim towards a structural transformation of the economy, while the Chenery Mission’s recommendations have other orientations.
