 Observaciones a algunos diagnósticos y recomendaciones de la misión de empleo 2021Francisco José Pérez Torres Econógrafos, Escuela de Economía from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, FCE, CID Abstract: This essay presents a balance of the substantial aspects exposed in the executive report of the Employment Mission 2021. On the one hand, it identifies the Universal Social Protection proposal as the most important contribution to the future of the working life of Colombians, in particular by its method of financing and the benefits for the population and companies. On the other hand, it points out critical aspects ignored by the Mission related with the problem of employment in the informal economy and formal employment in the country; it disputes the diagnosis and the recommendations on the minimum wage and discusses the inconvenience for the country to return to a differential Minimum Wage scheme. It argues why the growth of the economy generated by the country's extractivist economic development model and the reforms to the labor legal framework, in the last 40 years, have proven to be inefficient variables to overcome the informal economy and unemployment, which it would be signifying the need, not contemplated by the Mission, for the country to implement bold social and economic policies that provoke definitive structural transformations.
