Abstract

En este artículo se analiza la relación entre las características familiares y el acceso a la educación posobligatoria (media y superior) en Colombia. Para ello, se estima un Modelo Probit ordenado generalizado usando siete cohortes con los datos de la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH) para el periodo 2008-2012. Los principales resultados econométricos muestran que características como la educación de los padres y la situación laboral de estos están correlacionadas con el aumento en la probabilidad de demandar educación posobligatoria en Colombia. Otros resultados muestran que existen diferencias estadisticamente significativas por ingresos, por cohortes y por género que agravan la desigualdad en las oportunidades educativas.
