Stefano Farné

Stefano Farné is a researcher at the Universidad Externado in Colombia, where he focuses on labor economics and the dynamics of informal employment. He has gained attention for his analysis of the trends in self-employment and informal work in Colombia, particularly in light of recent data indicating that self-employment has become the primary driver of job creation amid high unemployment rates. Farné warns that proposed labor reforms may exacerbate the issue of informality rather than alleviate it, as they could increase operational costs for small and medium enterprises, potentially leading to job losses.
