Abstract: RESUMENEl presente trabajo pretende describir el mercado laboral profesional en el Área Metropolitana de Cali-Yumbo (AMC) y desarrollar un modelo que permita calcular la probabilidad que un profesional este desempleado. Dicho trabajo se realiza a partir de la información contenida en los segundos trimestres de la Encuesta Continua de Hogares en el período 2001-2006. Entre los resultados más importantes se resalta: la población económicamente activa se caracteriza por un mayor y creciente nivel de cualificación; la tasa global de participación de los profesionales es superior a la de los no profesionales; la generación de empleo profesional por parte de la industria manufacturera ha perdido participación, así como el sector público, y la han ganado el sector servicios y el privado; la predominancia del uso de canales de búsqueda informales; y, el ser jefe de hogar y la experiencia como factores que explican la probabilidad de desempleo de un profesional, mientras para los no profesionales se adicionan el género y los anos de estudio. En general, la calidad del empleo de los profesionales según el índice de calidad del empleo (ICE) es alta. ABSTRACTThe present work is intended to describe the professional labor market in the Metropolitan Area of Cali-Yumbo (AMC) and to develop a model that allows calculating the probability of a professional to be unemployed. Such work is developed based on the information of La Encuesta Continua de Hogares submitted in the second trimesters during the period 2001-2006. Among the most important results, the following stand out: the population economically active is characterized for a higher and growing level of qualification; the global rate of participation of the professionals is higher to that of the non-professionals; the generation of professional employment by the manufacturing industry has lowered participation, as well as in the public sector. On the other hand, the service sector and the private one have increased their participation. The high proportion in the use of informal search channels, to be a household head and the experience are shown as factors that explain the probability of unemployment of a professional, while for the non professional the gender and the years of study are added. In general, the quality of the employment of the professionals is high according to the Employment Quality Index (ICE).
