Abstract

El bajo desarrollo del capital humano fue senalado como uno de los obstáculos del progreso de México, de acuerdo con un diagnóstico inicial del gobierno de Enrique Pena Nieto. La presente investigación se propone evaluar el desempeno de políticas públicas para la formación y fortalecimiento del capital humano en ciencia y tecnología, implementadas por el Gobierno Federal de México entre 2012 y 2018. Para ello, se analiza el logro de los objetivos propuestos en documentos oficiales de planeación, a través del contraste de indicadores oficiales y propios con los resultados obtenidos. Se reconoce el cumplimiento de parte de los objetivos de la política pública, como el incremento de los miembros del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) y los avances en las acciones para favorecer la participación de las mujeres en el sistema científico. Sin embargo, no fue alcanzado el objetivo de promoción del capital humano en áreas prioritarias ni fue posible reconocer con claridad un incremento en el nivel de los investigadores del SNI, ya que se hallaron aspectos favorables y desfavorables. ************************************************************************************************************************The low development of human capital was pointed out as one of the obstacles to progress in Mexico, according to an initial diagnosis by the government of Enrique Pena Nieto. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of public policies implemented by the Mexican Federal Government on the training and strengthening of human capital in science and technology between 2012 and 2018. For this, the achievement of the objectives proposed in official planning documents is analyzed through the contrast between official and own indicators and the outcomes achieved by government policies. Results of the study show compliance with part of public policy objectives due to the increase in the number of members of the National System of Researchers (SNI), and progress in actions to favor women’s participation in the scientific system. However, the objective of promoting human capital in priority areas was not achieved, and it was not possible to clearly recognize an increase in the level of SNI researchers since favorable and unfavorable aspects were found. ************************************************************************************************************************O baixo desenvolvimento do capital humano foi apontado como um dos obstáculos ao progresso do México, segundo um diagnóstico inicial do governo de Enrique Pena Nieto.

Para isso, analisa-se o cumprimento dos objetivos propostos nos documentos oficiais de planejamento, por meio do contraste de indicadores oficiais e próprios com os resultados alcancados pelas políticas governamentais. A pesquisa demonstrou o cumprimento de uma parte dos objetivos das políticas públicas, devido a ampliacao do quadro de integrantes do Sistema Nacional de Pesquisadores (SNI) assim como ao avanco nas acoes que favorecem a participacao das mulheres no sistema científico. No entanto, nao foi alcancado o objetivo de promocao do capital humano em áreas prioritárias, e nao foi possível reconhecer claramente um aumento do nível de investigadores do SNI, uma vez que foram encontrados aspectos favoráveis e desfavoráveis.
