El presente estudio permitio evaluar, desde el enfoque de derechos, la gestion de la politica de inclusion social que se desarrolla en el contexto de los vendedores que laboran de manera informal en el Centro Historico del distrito de Barranquilla (Colombia). Para la recoleccion de la informacion, se utilizaron tecnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas. Las unidades de analisis fueron dos: los vendedores estacionarios ubicados en el sector informal y los directivos/administrativos de la Alcaldia Distrital. En conclusion, se establecio que a pesar de que la Alcaldia enmarca su plan de gobierno en el enfoque social de derechos, los vendedores no participan en todos los programas, por ello, se amerita la inclusion de este grupo mediante el diseno de una politica social que en realidad los haga participes de estos derechos. Abstract This study provides an assessment of the politics involved in the inclusion of street vendors as having the right to be considered part of an informal labor force in the downtown area of Barranquilla. Quantitative and qualitative methods were applied to evaluate the collected data. The areas of analysis were as follows: informal stationary vendors located in the comercial sector and Barranquilla’s labor policies and directives regarding such labor. In conclusion, despite the local government’s approach to include informal street vendors as part of the labor force with their corresponding labor and political social rights, many of these do not take part in any of the programs earmarked as benefits of such due to lack of awareness of such programs.
