Abstract

Teniendo como referentes la teoría del capital humano y la de se˜nalización, el documento analiza la influencia de variables socioeconómicas, laborales y de las características de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), sobre el ingreso laboral de los graduados universitarios en Colombia, utilizando la Herramienta de Seguimiento a Graduados (2005). Se encuentra que vivir en Bogotá, ser hombre, tener padres m´as educados o haber obtenido el t´ıtulo en IES privadas o acreditadas, se relaciona positivamente con la probabilidad de devengar mayores ingresos laborales. El ´area de conocimiento, la posición ocupacional y el tipo de vinculación laboral también explican los ingresos de la población estudiada. ***************** Combining Human Capital and Signaling theories and a previously unavailable data source, this paper seeks to explain recent graduates’ labor income in Colombia. Data from a National Education Ministry survey is used given its comparative advantages on providing specific information such as field of study and features of the education institution. The main result is that some specific features as male gender, residence in Bogot´a, having parents with higher levels of education, or a degree obtained from a private institution, enhance the probability of obtaining a higher labor income. Some regularities as field of study and occupational position also explain higher wage levels.
