Abstract

Este estudio estima la penalidad que se presenta en los ingresos laborales de los padres que tuvieron sus hijos a edad temprana, antes de los 21 años, en relación con aquellos que postergan su paternidad. Para corregir los problemas de endogeneidad se usan técnicas de correspondencia (propensity score matching) y el método de Heckman. Los resultados sugieren que los padres a edad temprana tienen una penalidad del 11,7% en sus ingresos por hora. Los impactos son mayores en magnitud para las mujeres (12,7%) que para los hombres (5,3%), y los canales de transmisión son heterogéneos según sexo. La paternidad temprana se produce en un momento crítico del ciclo de vida, donde aumenta la probabilidad de interrumpir eventos importantes en la formación de capital humano, y produce cambios en la forma en que los padres jóvenes se vinculan al mercado laboral como consecuencia del cuidado y del mantenimiento económico del niño.
