The fact that the economy grows and unemployment does not subside At the same rate, it is a sign that Colombia needs a labor reform, and a pact for employment, by all sectors of the country.

This was stated yesterday by the president of Fenalco, Jaime Alberto Cabal, within the framework of the annual Congress held by the union in Cartagena, an event that was also attended by President Iván Duque and several of its officials.

“We are facing a reality in the that we need to break down structural obstacles and have public policies icas and programs aimed at regions, population segments and specific sectors, “said Cabal in his speech.

For the union leader, regardless of the favorable data that has delivered the Dane, which show that unemployment tends to fall and is close to pre-pandemic levels, the problems of the labor market and informality have no solution in sight.

“I insist that the country needs to make a great social pact for employment with all levels, with the workers’ centrals, the government, political parties and Congress,” he said. .

(See: Youth employment subsidy created 77,574 jobs in 2 months ).

One of the issues that should change, in your opinion, has to do with the minimum wage , which is negotiated between workers and employers at the end of year by constitutional provision.

The country must get out of this vicious circle and, rather, tend to explore the reality of today, the business world and regions, economic vocations, labor costs and undertake, in some way, the possibility of raising a regional salary, according to the reality of each area of ​​the country ”, proposed.

And added that the reform should also extend to the flexibility of hiring by hours with social benefits.

He acknowledged that the latter is controversial and more so at electoral time. “ Therefore, our vision is to raise the issue with the candidates. We hope that the next Government and the next Congress will commit said.

He also pointed out that it is not convenient for each legislature to introduce initiatives that increase costs. As happened with the reduction of the working day. “For example, in the case of commerce, the increase is estimated at 26% for payroll,” said the president of Fenalco.

Commerce and tourism are sectors that are open on weekends and until late hours of the night. By reducing the day, each hour becomes extra ”, he commented.
And he argued that “the more costs and the more expensive it is hire, the more difficult it is for the employer to obtain new personnel
”.

Messages from Duque

In his speech, President Iván Duque took advantage of the event to reiterate the importance of the private sector in the country and also explained the official policy to promote safe economic reactivation.

He said that one of the threats looming against democracy occurs ” . Because that is only typical of the authoritarian and autocratic regimes that have ended the private initiative in the world ”.

He added that “nobody can pretend to tell a country to close a sector that represents more than 40 percent of the exports or more than 35 percent of foreign investment
