Situación de trabajo decente en las ciudades de Bogotá, Medellín y Bucaramanga 2018-2020.

Objective: the objective of this research is to measure the conditions of "decent work" for three of the main cities of Colombia (Bogota, Medellin, and Bucaramanga) during the period 2018-2020. Methodology: The different dimensions proposed by the ILO are used in reference to the necessary conditions that decent work must provide. The calculation and analysis of the behavior of the variables under study is based on information from the Great Integrated Household Survey (GIHS)) prepared by DANE. Results: According to indicators of income and employment, the results show an increase in the three cities' labor precarity. By city, Bogota has the best performance in terms of access to employment and social dialogue; Medellin best performs in terms of social security and job security; while Bucaramanga shows deficiencies in the four areas analyzed for the period under study. Conclusions: the main conclusion is that, in 2020, the year of the confinement decreed by the national government to face the COVID-19 pandemic, labor precariousness conditions increased.
