Abstract

This article analyzes the problems of socioeconomic vulnerability and access to higher education facing people with disabilities in Cali, Colombia. The methodology, evaluated from the conception of poverty, consists of the estimation of a multilevel econometric model and a social experiment. The main sources of data used were the Survey of Employment and Quality of Life conducted for Cali in 2013 and data obtained from a private university in this city in 2016. The results indicate that such population presents a poverty perception rate 1.84 times higher and a probability of accessing higher education 47.71 % lower than the rest of the population, as well as a commune effect more incident than that of the household or district to which they belong.
