| Abstract: | The objective of the research is to identify the determinants of labor participation in seven departments of the Amazonia and Orinoquia regions in Colombia. It corresponds to a nonexperimental quantitative study of descriptive scope framed in the analytical empirical paradigm. The data were collected from the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares with 2018 data for the departments of Arauca, Putumayo, Amazonas, Guainía, Guaviare, Vaupés and Vichada. From a Probit-type econometric model, the probability of occurrence for an individual to participate in the labor market was observed from a set of variables such as age, sex, schooling, marital status, head of household and income. The results show a high impact of the variables age and being male. The variables of higher educational level and marital status are not significant determinants of the labor participation of individuals. Family income is not relevant nor does it have any impact on labor participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
