Colombia remains a highly unequal society, with the Gini coefficient, a common measure of inequality, hovering around 0.5 – in the same range as Brazil and Chile. The problem has many causes, one of which is a poorly functioning labor market that forces many Colombians to accept informal work or no work at all.
哥伦比亚仍是一个高度不平等的社会，基尼系数（衡量不平等成都的常规指标）徘徊在0.5左右，与巴西和智利相当。问题的根源是多方面的，其中之一是劳动力市场功能不全，迫使许多哥伦比亚人不得不从事非正式工作或彻底失业。
