Abstract

Evaluamos la incidencia que tiene el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA) sobre las personas que han asistido a cursos largos en variables indirectas y directas que capturan la acumulación de capital social. En líneas generales, la acción del SENA es benéfica. Las personas egresadas de cursos largos de la institución mejoran su probabilidad de estar empleados, su ingreso y su capital social. Estos resultados contrastan con aquellos de otros estudios que proponen debilitar el SENA, con el argumento de que su rentabilidad social es muy baja e, incluso, inferior a la de las instituciones públicas y privadas que realizan una actividad similar. En lugar de marchitar al SENA, la política pública debería contribuir a su fortalecimiento. Indudablemente, en este proceso el SENA debe mejorar su eficiencia.
