Abstract

La educación superior no universitaria (ESNU), que comprende los programas técnicos y tecnológicos, puede ser una opción de política pública para disminuir la brecha salarial y evitar la concentración de la riqueza. Mediante estimaciones tipo pool de la ecuación de Mincer para los anos 2007-2011 y la descomposición del ingreso por componentes factoriales en la que se toma como insumo la ecuación del ingreso, se encuentra que la educación técnica y tecnológica tiene una tasa de retorno superior a la de la educación media en 19,5% y, además, la tasa de crecimiento de este retorno entre 2007 y 2011 fue superior a la de la educación universitaria en 0,4%. Así mismo, la ESNU incrementa la probabilidad de empleo con respecto a no poseer ningún título o tener educación superior universitaria en 1,7% y 0,2% respectivamente. Este tipo de educación favorece principalmente a mujeres, jóvenes y población ubicada en los estratos socioeconómicos más bajos.
