A note on unemployment in Colombia

[摘要] The primary concern of this thesis is to consider the various reasons for which Colombia continues to show high rates of urban unemployment, giving special attention to three specific aspects: first, the failures and possibilities of the manufacturing sector as generator of industrial employment; second, the actual distortions in the labor market and some aspects of investment policy; and finally, the implications and expected effects of the Lauchlin Currie's prescriptions for rapid Colombian urbanization.
