Abstract

ResumenEl comportamiento socioeconómico de las personas de ascendencia afrocolombianas que viven en la ciudad de Cali está ampliamente relacionado no sólo con la formación y las habilidades que ellas poseen sino con la de sus padres y los grupos sociales con los que interactúan tanto padres como hijos. Es así como las características culturales, sociales y económicas de los padres determinan de una u otra forma cual va a ser el grado de movilidad que tendrán sus hijos y nietos en el futuro, estableciendo los diferentes niveles de movilidad que estos últimos presenten. Este trabajo determina la incidencia del capital étnico sobre la acumulación de capital humano en las poblaciones afrocolombianas en Cali como una medida de discriminación racial a través de un modelo econométrico de movilidad social que incorpora como elemento adicional a los modelos tradicionales el capital étnico, encontrando que no existe discriminación racial en Cali para los afrocolombianos que interactúan con individuos de otra raza, mientras que el efecto es contrario cuando los afrocolombianos se segregan.AbstractThe incidence of ethnic capital on the human capital accumulation: the case of afrocolombians population in Cali (Colombia)The socioeconomic performance of blacks in Cali is strongly related not only with your own education and skills but also with education and skills from your parents and the social groups which they have interactions. In that way, the different characteristics social, cultural and economics determine in many aspects which will be the level of social mobility of the sons and grandsons in the future stablishing the different levels of mobility that they will have. This paper determines the incidence of ethnic capital on the Human Capital accumulation on the afrocolombians population in Cali as a measurement of racial discrimination through an econometric model of social mobility which incorpores the ethnic capital as a different element from the tradition. I found that there is not racial discrimination in Cali for the afrocolombians who have interactions with people from other races, while for the others there is.
