Abstract

En este trabajo se analiza la movilidad educativa entre generaciones en Colombia desde 1915 hasta 2003. A través de un nuevo índice se mide la movilidad intergeneracional ascendente, entendida como la probabilidad neta de que los hijos superen la educación de sus padres. Para examinar la incidencia de los retornos de la educación sobre las decisiones educativas y, particularmente, sobre la movilidad intergeneracional, fue necesario construir una serie de rentabilidad de la educación que cubriera el mismo período que el indicador de movilidad. El análisis muestra un considerable aumento de la educación entre generaciones y señala una disminución en el ritmo de crecimiento de la movilidad intergeneracional desde mediados de la década de los setenta; esto podría explicarse, entre otros factores, por el descenso en los retornos de la educación. Finalmente, en el documento se sugiere la existencia de imperfecciones en el mercado para el financiamiento de la educación superior.
