 “POLICIES FOR THE FORMALIZATION OF MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES
IN COLOMBIA”

In our country a phenomenon has been generated as in other Latin American countries and
it is the informal work produced by high unemployment rates. And with the arrival of this
phenomenon some problems generated by micro-enterprises and self-employment such as:
low productivity in comparison with the costs of formal operation, the same and inadequate
for micro and small businesses, information as an option attractive in terms of flexibility
and independence and social control.
That is why they are generating formalization policies so that informal employment and
microenterprises can have the opportunity to compete and provide productivity to the
economy. The strategies that are used are the government simplifies the procedures for the
registration of companies and licenses, the laws and special regulations in relation to fiscal
obligations, the quality of the services provided by the different types of social security
schemes and the organization of training programs and information campaigns for
employees and employees of micro and small companies.
