El Salario Mínimo en Colombia: Impacto Social.

Abstract

This text examines how the minimum wage has evolved in Colombia and its impact on the economy and society, a topic that has generated much discussion.

In the last three years, the issue has sparked even more debate, especially regarding the living conditions of the working class. Historically, the minimum wage in Colombia has undergone significant changes over time.

Since 1985, it began to track percentage increases annually in a more structured way. However, until 2001, these increases remained fairly controlled, between 3% and 8%.

One of the goals of this article is to compare ideas based on an interview with an employee to obtain information from both an academic perspective and a real-life experience.
