At the end of the year the economy national sample a good balance, but with a shade in the horizon.The economic peak in the last years demonstrates that to the economy he goes him well but to the workers he goes them bad, this impels it is not equipped in all the social levels…
A growth of 7.35 percent in the third trimester, jalonado mainly, for the construction, the industry, the communications and the transport, it calculates that it spreads to an annual projection of the 7.8-8 percent, of the GDP, when concluding the 2007, the highest in three o'clock finishes decades and that it would overcome 6.8 percent of 2006.
It is a growth that few countries can show - the Chinese GDP, 10.7 percent grew in 2006 and an unemployment rate near the threshold of 4 percent -, with a sustainable perspective and of little deceleration for next year.
On the other hand, he has economic implications the encounter, in the department of the Tolima, of a mine of gold on the part of a foreign company. Let us remember that in the colony the mining sector occupied the first line and that it favored the Spaniards and you development through the piracy and pillage with the desire of the easy enrichment and payment of debts on the part of the Spanish conquerors to finance its expeditions.
The beautiful metal was good to the crown to care goods of other places and to sustain its expansion project for other regions of America. Little or anything made Spain in investment with the plundered gold.
Returning to the central economic topic, today the government takes out chest like product of his politics of democratic security, returning the trust to the country and the foreign investors to continue investing in Colombia.
But not everything is rose color that good, serious that this economic impulse was reflected in the social context, especially, in the employment, keeping in mind that very remunerated with a controlled inflation it generates well-being, prosperity and bigger investment; evidently to more employment, bigger money in circulation, bigger demand, bigger consumption.
But a contradiction is presented, and it is that its natural impact in any economy, is the prosperity, that is to say, to reduce the poverty and the unemployment.
However, in spite of this sustained growth of the Internal Product Bruto - GDP - it is not able to reduce aun la unemployment rate to a digit. At the end of October it was located by 10 percent, with a descending tendency.
But the perception that is appreciated is another; people walking for the streets, the goods parked in the shelves and cabinets of the warehouses in most of the year and some salespersons anguished in the door of the warehouses conquering the walkers (now in December with some recovery).
The underemployment or informal employment (call gleans, conformed by the salespersons; of I tint, bolis, yokels, it dilutes in bag, rice…, telephone calls, sale of CD…, increment of moto taxis and bike taxis, etc) it increases with the lost one from work positions and the arrival to the labor market of more people in capacity of working.
Excellent that the economy grew, and the great majority of the Colombians enjoyed the advance of the same one.
Nowadays, many countrymen don't satisfy the basic necessities; with a real wage that doesn't reach to cover the family basket, calls poor, another great number is debated in the poverty.
