Abstract

PEREZ VALBUENA, Gerson Javier. Democratic security policy 2002-2006: socio-economic impacts in rural areas. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.30, pp.241-270. ISSN 0124-5996.

This paper exploits the structural change in the number of ruralseizures to measure the impact of strengthening the security policy between 2002 and 2006 on the rural labor market in Colombia. The new policy produced dissimilar effects across gender, age-groups, and type of occupation. In general, there was a socioeconomic loss in terms of reductions in the adult labor supply and income, while for youths and children there was a differentiated effect by gender in labor participation. No significant connections were found with school enrollment.

Keywords : Labor participation; crime; regional economics.
