El resultado indica que las remesas de emigrantes afectan la posibilidad de participar en el mercado de trabajo.||*Este capítulo se encuentra incluido en la tercera parte del libro El mercado de trabajo en Colombia : hechos, tendencias e instituciones, titulada "El mercado de trabajo en el corto plazo"
