SANDOVAL-PAUCAR, Giovanny; ARANGO-OSPINA, Alexandra; RODRIGUEZ-VELEZ, Patricia  and  SANTANA-OVIEDO, Millerlandy. Analysis of job opportunities for ex-combatants from a business sector perspective. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.134-154. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i39.7378.

The following article analyzes the perceptions of entrepreneurs in the cities of Palmira, Florida, Candelaria and Pradera (Colombia) regarding the hiring of ex-combatants in their companies. The methodology used is a stratified sampling and a multinomial logit model to examine the appreciations of entrepreneurs. As a result, it is obtained that the attitudes of the business sector are polarized in terms of the employment of ex-comba- tants. Similarly, perceptions regarding the peace process have a negative effect on the decision when hiring ex-combatants, while perceptions on government incentive policies show a positive effect on this decision.

Keywords : Ex-Combatants; Reintegration; Peace Process; Economic Policies; Multinomial Logit.
