Reformas en materia laboral que necesita el sector comercial para cumplir con el Objetivo 8 del Desarrollo Sostenible en Colombia

Abstract

Labor law in Colombia has been evolving, but several classic formalities must be broken and adjusted to today's trends in order to develop what is stated in objective 8 of sustainable development; In other words, "progressive changes are required that ensure both the adaptation of the markets and the guarantee of the rights of workers, allowing a dynamic of social balance and economic coordination that is fair for a society like the Colombian one" (Cortés, 2018). The Court itself recognizes that there is a legislative obsolescence in labor law, that is, there is a delay in the regulation of the new forms of employment relationship and the means that are currently being used for their performance, such as the introduction of information and communication technologies. Now, the reforms that have been implemented over time have often brought disagreements and even protests on the part of citizens since they do not fully meet the needs of society, they only favor a few and make few the opportunities for others, therefore it is requested that the reforms cause a change and adapt to the present, Abuchaibe (2020). This research addresses the following objectives; Describe what reforms the commercial sector needs in labor matters to comply with objective 8 of sustainable development in Colombia. Identify several of the jurisprudential renewals required by the commercial sector in the workplace. Compare the progress of goal 8 of sustainable development with some of the latest labor reforms. Examine the importance of labor reforms for Colombian economic growth.
