Abstract

En este trabajo se estima el valor del stock de capital humano para Colombia en el período 2001-2009, a partir del enfoque de ingresos vitales. Se identifica una tasa de crecimiento del stock agregado de 3,24%, a la cual los hombres contribuyen en mayor medida, al igual que las personas con nivel educativo superior incompleto, mientras los individuos más jóvenes contribuyen más por grupos de edad. Las tasas de inversión bruta, depreciación y revaluación estimadas en 7,48%, 4,44%, y 0,1%, respectivamente, arrojan una tasa de inversión neta de 3,09%. Finalmente, el stock es sensible a cambios paramétricos, pero sus tasas de crecimiento parecen inalteradas. ***** This study employed the lifetime income approach to estimate the value of Colombia’s human capital stock between 2001 and 2009. The findings demonstrate that aggregate stock grew 3.24% over the period. A gender breakdown showed that men contributed more to this growth rate than did women, as did those who had completed higher education compared to those who had not, while analysis by age group showed that younger individuals contributed more than their elders. Likewise, the rates of gross investment, depreciation and revaluation of human capital were estimated at 7.48%, 4.44% and 0.1% respectively, yielding a net investment rate of 3.09%. Finally, although the stock was sensitive to parametric changes, growth rates appeared relatively unaffected overall. ***** Dans ce travail est évaluée la valeur du stock de capital humain pour la Colombie pour la période 2001 – 2009, calculée a partir des entrées vitales. On identifie un taux de croissance du stock cumulé de 3,24%, auquel les hommes contribuent pour la plus grande partie, de meme que les personnes d’un niveau d’études supérieur incomplet, tandis que les individus plus jeunes contribuent davantage par groupes d’age. Les taux d’investissement brut, dépréciation, et réévaluation estimés respectivement a 7,48 %, 4,44% et 0,1% atteignent un taux d’investissement net de 3,09%. Finalement, le stock est sensible aux changements paramétriques, mais ses taux de croissance semblent ne pas en etre altérés.
