Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) Los autores presentan en este trabajo estimadores correspondientes de las repercusiones sobre el ingreso de las personas que han asistido a programas de capacitación pública y privada en Colombia. Es calculan los niveles de propensión mediante el control de la variedad de variables de los antecedentes personales y socioeconómicos de esas personas. El efecto de la capacitación, cuantificado por el efecto medio del tratamiento sobre los asistentes a los programas, muestra lo siguiente: (i) en el caso de los jóvenes, ninguna institución ha tenido un efecto considerable a corto o largo plazo, salvo las instituciones privadas en el caso de los hombres; sin embargo, el ámbito de los datos limita la confiabilidad del resultado; (ii) en el caso de los hombres adultos, ni el SENA ni las demás instituciones públicas tienen un efecto significativo en el corto o largo plazo, (iii) en el caso de las mujeres adultas capacitadas en el SENA, hay efectos positivos mas no significativos en el corto plazo y efectos mayores y casi significativos a largo plazo. Todas las demás instituciones públicas tienen un efecto mayor que es significativo a largo plazo; (iv) en el caso de adultos capacitados en instituciones privadas donde hay efectos grandes y significativos tanto en el corto como en el largo plazo, pero en el caso de los hombres adultos y a corto plazo, los efectos son menores y apenas significativos. Además, ni los cursos cortos ni los largos ofrecidos por el SENA parecen tener un efecto significativo sobre el ingreso. En general, las mujeres obtienen más beneficios que los hombres tanto de los cursos cortos como de los largos. Por último, un análisis de costo-beneficio muestra que, según la suposición de costos unitarios directos iguales a los del SENA, las instituciones privadas son más rentables que las públicas, las que son a su vez más rentables que el SENA.
