Abstract

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis empírico de la situación laboral actual de Argentina con el propósito de estimar los retornos a la educación. La metodología consiste en estimar las ecuaciones de Mincer y computar los retornos, tanto bajo la hipótesis de retornos lineales por años de educación, como así también por máximo nivel alcanzado. Los datos provienen de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH-INDEC) correspondientes al primer trimestre de 2022. Los resultados relevan: (1) un retorno a la educación del 8% para el 2022, indicando que, en promedio, cada año adicional de educación se asocia con un aumento del 8% en los ingresos laborales; y (2) se identifica una tendencia decreciente en los retornos a la educación en las dos últimas décadas, aunque se observa una tendencia creciente en los años de escolarización promedio.
