Moreover, we make a statistical analysis of the labor market situation in Colombia, emphasizing its main current problems. This analysis includes a simple Logit model to examine the relationship between the probability of being unemployed and different socioeconomic variables. Finally, we present the policies commonly used to reduce the unemployment: supply-side policies, demand-side policies and sectorial policies. %K PRODUCCIÓN INTELECTUAL REGISTRADA - UNIVERSIDAD ICESI %K Apuntes de economía %K Mercado laboral - Colombia %K Desempleo %K Políticas de empleo %K LABOR MARKET %K UNEMPLOYMENT %K EMPLOYMENT POLICIES %K Generación de empleo %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
