Summary: This article analyzes the labor insertion of young people in Colombia. To reach this purpose, the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (Great Integrated Household Survey) applied by the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística -DANE- (National Administrative Department of Statistics) during the period 2008-2015 to 13 main metropolitan areas in the country was analyzed. The main results are the high levels of unemployment among young people from low-income households, with low levels of education and young women. Also a high proportion of young people working without a written contract was found, which hinders access to stable and quality work. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen policies on access to work for young people given that their unemployment and job insecurity persist.
