This paper analyzes job insecurity in Colombia through an indicator constructed using the method of fuzzy sets for the years 2010 and 2019 using data from the Large Integrated Household Survey (GEIH). For the estimation, it was used the dimensions used by Castillo (2022); Nuñez (2017); Rodgers and Rodgers (1989); Gomez (2014): continuity of job, control over work, affiliation to social security and salary level. The main results are that the cities with the least precariousness on average were Bogotá and Tunja, that women have a greater propensity to be in precarious conditions with respect to men, the age range with the best working conditions is 28 to 39 years, individuals with technical and technologist degrees are in better working conditions than professionals, employees who work in large or medium-sized companies present better indicators of job insecurity, among other results presented in the conclusions.

Keywords : Precarious employment; microdata; fuzzy set methodology; Colombia.
