Ahorro de los hogares de ingresos medios y bajos de las zonas urbana y rural en Colombia

Author

Abstract

Este documento analiza empíricamente el ahorro de los hogares de ingresos medios y bajos de las zonas urbana y rural en Colombia, utilizando información de la Encuesta Longitudinal Colombiana de la Universidad de los Andes. Los resultados muestran una relación positiva entre el ingreso y el ahorro de los hogares. Además, se encuentra que la probabilidad de ahorrar aumenta con el nivel educativo, el ingreso, la participación laboral y la tenencia de vivienda del individuo. De otro lado, los resultados indican que la educación, el ingreso y una situación laboral estable aumentan la probabilidad de ahorrar en bancos y fondos de empleados o cooperativas y disminuyen la probabilidad de ahorrar de manera informal.
