Abstract (English):	The article analyzes labor informality in Chile, focusing on its measurement, characteristics, and determining factors. Using data from the National Employment Survey of the National Institute of Statistics, patterns are identified that indicate that informality is more prevalent among women, individuals with lower educational levels, and workers in small businesses in low-productivity sectors. The applied econometric models, such as logit and probit, reveal that labor informality is a multicausal phenomenon that requires comprehensive public policies addressing both individual characteristics and the conditions of the productive environment for its mitigation.

Abstract (Spanish):	Este artículo examina la informalidad laboral en Chile a través del análisis de su medición y evolución, y sus factores determinantes. Se revisan las teorías y los métodos utilizados para medir la informalidad, y se realiza un análisis cuantitativo con datos procedentes de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo (ENE) del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE) de Chile. El estudio incluye una fase descriptiva sobre la evolución de la informalidad y una fase inferencial con modelos de regresión logit y probit. Los resultados indican que la probabilidad de ocupación informal aumenta cuando la persona es mujer, tiene menor nivel educativo y trabaja en pequeñas empresas y en sectores de baja productividad. Estos efectos han sido consistentes a lo largo del tiempo, lo que pone de relieve la importancia de contar con políticas que consideren tanto las características individuales como las del entorno productivo para abordar la informalidad laboral en Chile.
