Gradientes de empleo intrarregionales en Colombia

We calculate the rate (or gradient) at which employment declines depending on the increase in the distance between regional capitals and peripheral municipalities in Colombia in 2005. Employment in Colombia is concentrated in the central region, in the mountainous andean sector and the Caribbean, therefore, a set of seven regions, which are the most representative in the country because of their economic activity, were analyzed. In order to measure the rate, a log-lin model by OLS is estimated using employment information from the DANE Census of 2005. The results show that in five of the seven regions, the gradient is statistically significant and negative, because employment is reduced from the capital to distant municipalities, following the pattern of Clarck’s law, leading to items to be considered in regional development policy.
