Salario y calidad de vida de los trabajadores de la Comuna la Candelaria, Medellín

Wage variations have always been considered one of the greatest concerns of workers, without them stopping to think of purchasing power as a guarantee for a better quality of life, even though there are several indicators that address this aspect, such as the human development index, which takes into account education, housing, health, and so on. This investigation centers its analysis on income as a fundamental element of this condition in order to respond to the hypothesis raised: "80% of the workers in the garment industry in strata 2 and 3 of commune 10 of the city of Medellín (La Candelaria), work in the informal labor sector, with a low salary that does not allow them to have a good quality of life. The method used for the development of this research gathers qualitative and quantitative methodological aspects. In a first phase, a bibliographic and documentary tour is carried out, and in a second phase it was necessary to take into account the collection of statistical data through a survey in order to verify the hypothesis initially put forward. The conclusion was reached that the salary of the workers is a key variable that allows the workers in the garment activity to have a good quality of life.
