Abstract

The need to identify segments in which the labor market in Honduras is structured represents a challenge in terms of initially identifying the characterization of the same, in that sense this research shows a detailed description of self-employment of Honduras for the period 2013 to 2015; defining them as those who work independently, often with low productivity and low wages, usually low professional qualification.

In the framework of the theory of the heterogeneity of self-employment and what is the dynamics of this sector in Honduras, we developed a series of tests versus education level, salary, branch of economic activity and other variables that will allow us to resent descriptively this sector still little explored in our country, but it deserves special attention, considering the elements of demographic transition and the current economic policies, which in a sense could encourage the increase of this segment of the labor market.
