Abstract
In the city of Villavicencio, nearly half of the employed labor force belongs to the informal sector. From street vendors to workers who do not comply with the minimum labor rights are the most evident face of a problem, which has its own dynamics of an economy that has not been able to respond to the challenge of informality. However, in spite of the fact that different governments have tried to implement policies to face this situation, the actions have not been efficient because they are temporary measures of a police type that do not help to mitigate the growth of informality. Thus, the authors propose a different approach to understand this phenomenon and provide a perspective that facilitates the dimensioning of the behavior of informality from a neo-structuralist viewpoint.
