Siempre que veo en noticias a Tarsicio Mora y Julio Roberto G\u00f3mez, presidentes de la CUT y la CGT, diciendo que el incremento decretado del salario m\u00ednimo (SM) es miserable, o a Rafael Mej\u00eda de la SAC y al presidente de Fenalco afirmando que la productividad laboral no creci\u00f3 lo suficiente como para pensar en un considerable incremento salarial, se apodera de m\u00ed esa extra\u00f1a sensaci\u00f3n propia del deja vu t\u00edpico que experimenta todo colombiano en diciembre.<\/p>\n<p>Este a\u00f1o el suplicio se ha extendido hasta el mes de enero, en raz\u00f3n a que Santos tuvo la grandeza de reconsiderar una decisi\u00f3n e incrementar el SM 3090 pesos m\u00e1s. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 gran novedad! Un presidente que se pone del lado de los trabajadores para darles la posibilidad de comprar aproximadamente una bolsa de leche m\u00e1s al mes a cerca del 13% de los colombianos, que son aquellos para los cuales el incremento del SM tiene alguna incidencia directa. <\/p>\n<p>Pero bueno, en este pa\u00eds cualquier cosa es cari\u00f1o. Un gran logro del gobierno de la Unidad Nacional al fin y al cabo, pues las familias en las que un solo miembro trabaja y gana un SM, ya est\u00e1n a una bolsa de leche menos de alcanzar la canasta b\u00e1sica familiar (la cual es equivalente a un poco m\u00e1s de dos salarios m\u00ednimos). Ahora les falta que haya un incremento salarial equivalente a la otra mitad de esta canasta y ya podr\u00e1n tener la posibilidad de consumir lo necesario para llevar una vida digna. Ya veremos hasta d\u00f3nde llegar\u00e1 la bondad de Santos el otro a\u00f1o; o quiz\u00e1s podamos esperar el milagrito de otra rectificaci\u00f3n demag\u00f3gica durante este mes. <\/p>\n<p>Pero \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasa con el 44% de los trabajadores colombianos que ganan menos del m\u00ednimo legal? La bolsita de leche m\u00e1s para los privilegiados que s\u00ed son cobijados por esta norma representar\u00e1 algunos puntos porcentuales m\u00e1s de desempleo y de informalidad, dir\u00e1 alg\u00fan economista de Fedesarrollo. No podr\u00e1n ser contratados en condiciones de dignidad porque esa platica se gastar\u00e1 en pagar el aumento del m\u00ednimo y de los costos no salariales de los afortunados que hoy s\u00ed est\u00e1n empleados, dir\u00e1 alg\u00fan empresario resignado porque, a pesar de que quiere generar empleo, el gobierno se la pone muy dif\u00edcil. Ser\u00e1n empleados dignamente porque cuando aumenta el SM, aumenta la demanda interna de la econom\u00eda y con eso los incentivos para producir y para contratar m\u00e1s gente, dir\u00e1 alg\u00fan sindicalista, de la CGT quiz\u00e1s, entusiasta con la actitud revolucionaria de Santos. <\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, las variaciones significativas del desempleo y la informalidad, y el aumento de los ingresos reales de los colombianos, no dependen de que los pocos trabajadores que se benefician del incremento del SM puedan comprar o no una la bolsa de leche m\u00e1s. Hay otros factores importantes que deben ser considerados. Por concentrarse en apasionadas discusiones en torno a este tipo de problemas, la Comisi\u00f3n de Concertaci\u00f3n de Pol\u00edticas Laborales y Salariales se ha convertido en un escenario est\u00e9ril, incapaz de generar compromisos de todos los actores para combatir los pobres resultados del mercado laboral. <\/p>\n<p>Solo quiz\u00e1s cuando se piense mancomunadamente en c\u00f3mo lograr incrementos en la productividad sin recurrir a la precarizaci\u00f3n del empleo; en fortalecer la inspecci\u00f3n del trabajo para evitar la evasi\u00f3n de la legislaci\u00f3n laboral; en la posibilidad de desligar la seguridad social del mercado de trabajo; en mejorar la formaci\u00f3n del trabajador colombiano promedio para lograr incorporarlo al mercado laboral formal; o en c\u00f3mo poner la pol\u00edtica macroecon\u00f3mica al servicio de lograr el pleno empleo, solo entonces, digo, no haremos tanto alboroto por una bolsa de leche. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The discussion of unemployment, informality and real incomes of workers should go far beyond the minimum wage increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
