abstract: 'Motivation: In the analysis of the relationship between the labour
|
|
|
|
market and crime, the variable that comes from the labour market is
|
|
|
|
generally the unemployment rate. However, there are labour market
|
|
|
|
characteristics that are more significant than unemployment, such as
|
|
|
|
labour informality, in the context of violent crime in low-income and
|
|
|
|
middle-income countries.
|
|
|
|
Purpose: This article aims to estimate the spatial and economic
|
|
|
|
relationship between homicides and labour informality by neighbourhood
|
|
|
|
in Cali, the city with the highest homicide rate currently and
|
|
|
|
historically in Colombia.
|
|
|
|
Methods and approach: Using administrative data and a unique survey of
|
|
|
|
formal and informal labour market conditions, we estimate a Spatial
|
|
|
|
Durbin Model to capture the spatial endogeneity of the relationship
|
|
|
|
between homicides and the labour market in the city''s neighbourhoods.
|
|
|
|
Findings: The main results show evidence of the positive spatial and
|
|
|
|
economic relationship between labour informality and homicides in the
|
|
|
|
city''s neighbourhoods. In addition, the bulk of this effect occurs in
|
|
|
|
some hillside settlement neighbourhoods with characteristics associated
|
|
|
|
with acute labour informality.
|
|
|
|
Policy implications: We propose a social and economic development
|
|
|
|
programme to improve the conditions of the informal labour market and
|
|
|
|
therefore achieve a reduction in homicides in specific areas, such as
|
|
|
|
city hot spots found in our spatial results.'
