Theoretical evolution and criteria for its estimation derived from the International Labour Organization (ILO) 2020-08-30T21:04:24-05:00 Talina Contreras Dávila talinacontreras@gmail.com This article aims to contribute to the theoretical analysis of informal employment and to the definition of criteria for its estimation. The discussions on the informality of work and the proposals for its measurement in Latin America initiated in the 1970s have been modified and extended as labor flexibility and precariousness have become more pronounced. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has studied the concept to provide new elements for understanding and measurement in both developed and developing countries. Here, the first perspectives on the informal sector and the theoretical-statistical evolution of the ILO are analyzed in order to reveal two routes for measuring informal employment that include wage employment as an essential category of the labour market. The paper concludes that the concept can be operational for analysing and estimating employment conditions in economies with different levels of development. 2020-07-08T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2020 Lebret https://revistas.ustabuca.edu.co/index.php/LEBRET/article/view/2411 The company and accidents in the workplace.

Intratraindustry trade serves to identify the complementarity and competition between two exportable offers. To measure of the level of intrindustry trade of department of Santander, Colombia with Alliance Pacific’s countries, Grubel y Lloyd index was used. It is calculated with information about exports and imports of each country at 4-digit code or heading between 2013-2018 and based on the value of the index, a categorization is used to assess level of significance of intraindustry trade of each heading. In this study were included 112 heading considered relevant for the exported value. Intraindustry trade of Santander with the Alliance Pacific’s countries is found in 22,3% of these items. IGL reflects a high relevance in a heading, medium relevance in 3, in both items with Mexico. In the other headings there are low relevance of intraindustry trade. 2020-07-08T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2020 Lebret https://revistas.ustabuca.edu.co/index.php/LEBRET/article/view/2415 The satisfaction of users affiliated with the health system in the Ibagué city, Colombia 2020-08-30T21:14:23-05:00 Mario Samuel Rodríguez Barrero mario.rodriguezb@campusucc.edu.co Aracelly Buitrago Mejía abuitragom@ut.edu.co Nubia Varón Triana nubia.varont@campusucc.edu.co Ramiro Quintero García rquinter@ut.edu.co This paper presents an analysis on the perception of health service users in Ibague, Colombia.

This is based on a documentary review and a semi-structured interview with an official of the National Comptroller’s Office. The urgency of advancing environmental sustainability, given the problems that hinder future well-being and, the use of an important budget reserved for environmental policy, but lacking suitable tools for measuring environmental changes and their socioeconomic effects, is attractive to analyze the control applied to the management of fiscal resources in the assurance of environmental sustainability and, lay the foundations for the efficient use of monies of fiscal origin. 2020-07-08T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2020 Lebret https://revistas.ustabuca.edu.co/index.php/LEBRET/article/view/2417 The effects of oil price shocks on colombian economy (2009-2018): an SVAR approach 2020-08-30T21:17:54-05:00 Guillermo David Hincapie Vélez guillermo.hincapie@upb.edu.co This paper pursues the general objective of quantifying and analyzing the responses of economic growth, inflation and the real exchange rate due to shocks in oil prices for Colombia in (2009-2018). Through a structural VAR, and in the theoretical support of a set of restrictions on the performance of the economy of the country, the different impulse response functions that allow to elucidate the serial reaction of the economy towards the oil sector through quantitative shocks are quantified Brend international oil price. The results show that oil prices affect economic growth and the real exchange rate in the analysis period, but their effects are greater on the exchange rate than on the growth that, in accordance with the national literature, is very low. In a context of limited oil reserves, the results of the article provide information regarding alternative strategies for such impacts to be replaced by other sectors of the economy, as well as assess the trade-off between the environmental impact and the economic growth that It could generate strategies like Frakcing. 2020-07-08T00:00:00-05:00 Copyright (c) 2020 Lebret
