Abstract

El objetivo de la presente investigación es estudiar la movilidad social en Colombia en el ámbito regional. Colombia tiene uno de los más altos índices de concentración del ingreso en el mundo y amplias disparidades económicas a nivel regional, que han sido persistentes en el tiempo. En este trabajo se estudia uno de los factores determinantes de dicha persistencia: baja movilidad social de las generaciones. Los resultados confirman los bajos niveles de movilidad intergeneracional en la educación, aunque se reportan mejorías. Además, se encuentra también una fuerte asociación entre el ingreso de una región y el grado de movilidad social. También, hay una correlación negativa y significativa entre el grado de desigualdad en los ingresos de una región y el grado de movilidad social. Esta investigación representa un primer esfuerzo por relacional las condiciones de movilidad social con las de desigualdad, avanzando en el estudio de la transmisión intergeneracional de las desigualdades en Colombia.
