Abstract

MORALES CASTRO, YOLANDA ROSA. SOCIAL INCLUSION OF STREET VENDORS ENGAGED IN LABOR ACTIVITIES IN BARRANQUILLA'S HISTORIC CENTER. Psicogente [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.31, pp.190-210. ISSN 0124-0137.

This study provides an assessment of the politics involved in the inclusion of street vendors as having the right to be considered part of an informal labor force in the downtown area of Barranquilla. Quantitative and qualitative methods were applied to evaluate the collected data. The areas of analysis were as follows: informal stationary vendors located in the comercial sector and Barranquilla's labor policies and directives regarding such labor. In conclusion, despite the local government's approach to include informal street vendors as part of the labor force with their corresponding labor and political social rights, many of these do not take part in any of the programs earmarked as benefits of such due to lack of awareness of such programs.

Keywords : Social inclusion; Social exclusion; Right approach; Public policy; Street vendors; Spheres.
