Abstract

La migración internacional de colombianos es un tema de interés debido la gran cantidad de colombianos en el exterior. Para el año 2005 había aproximadamente 5 millones de colombianos fuera del país. Comparados con la población total de Colombia los nacidos en Colombia que viven en el exterior son el 11% de la población. Este estudio detalla la asimilación de colombianos empleando datos del censo de los Estados Unidos del año 2000. Los resultados indican que los inmigrantes colombianos demoran entre 20 y 30 años en cerrar la brecha salarial y que se asimilan más rápido que los demas inmigrantes. ** International emigration of Colombians has become an interesting research subject given its increasing numbers. By 2005 there were approximately 5 millions of Colombians living abroad. They represent 11% of the total Colombian population. On this study we analyze the labor inception of Colombian migrants in the USA labor market by using data from the USA 2000 Population Census. The results point out that for Colombian migrants it takes between 20 and 30 years for them to close the wage gap with their American counterparts and that they actually get assimilated faster than migrants from other Latin American countries.
