| description | In Mexico, the COVID 19 pandemic had a significant impact on the economy in the center, north and south of the country. In the south, being the poorest area, with the greatest educational backwardness and low employment, employment increased even more, worsened by the total stoppage of commercial activities in the sale of food in fixed and itinerant establishments by Presidential Decree and by the sanitary health emergency. Therefore, our objective was to analyze the economy of the informal sector in established businesses in Tonalá, Chiapas, identifying causes, consequences and proposals for possible solutions for its reactivation. A qualitative and quantitative-descriptive research was carried out, designing a semi-structured survey, which was applied to a representative sample of 50 owners/proprietors; following all safety and sanitary protocols. |

In the south, being the poorest area, with the greatest educational backwardness and low employment, employment increased even more, worsened by the total stoppage of commercial activities in the sale of food in fixed and itinerant establishments by Presidential Decree and by the sanitary health emergency. Therefore, our objective was to analyze the economy of the informal sector in established businesses in Tonalá, Chiapas, identifying causes, consequences and proposals for possible solutions for its reactivation. A qualitative and quantitative-descriptive research was carried out, designing a semi-structured survey, which was applied to a representative sample of 50 owners/proprietors; following all safety and sanitary protocols. En México, la Pandemia de la COVID 19, afectó considerablemente la economía del centro, norte y sur del país. En el sur, por ser la zona más pobre, con mayor rezago educativo y bajo empleo, incrementó más éste, agravándose con el paro total de las actividades comerciales de la venta de alimentos en establecimientos fijos e itinerantes por Decreto Presidencial y por la emergencia sanitaria de salud. Por ello, nuestro objetivo fue analizar la economía del sector informal en negocios establecidos de Tonalá, Chiapas identificando causas, consecuencias y propuestas de posibles soluciones para su reactivación. Destacando que se realizó una investigación, cualitativa y cuantitativa-descriptiva, diseñándose una encuesta semiestructurada, que se aplicó a una muestra representativa de 50 dueños/propietarios; siguiendo todos los protocolos de seguridad y sanitarios.
