contents Economic growth, labour flexibilization and employment quality in Colombia, 2002–11 Stefano Farné Carlos Andrés Vergara Over the period 2002–11, the Colombian labour market saw a marked improvement in employment opportunities, accompanied by an increase in non-standard forms of employment. The authors look at how this affected employment quality, using a composite index based on Categorical Principal Components Analysis (CATPCA). They observe a small but widespread improvement in employment quality – mainly for self-employed women – brought about by higher earnings, increased social protection and less time-related underemployment. However, a considerable “quality deficit” remains, which calls for policies to strengthen labour market institutions and stimulate productivity and investment. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2015.00241.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2015.00241.x publication.journalArticle
