Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es identificar los principales determinantes de la brecha educativa de los adolescentes en Colombia y establecer cuáles son los patrones de la movilidad social de los adolescentes desde un enfoque regional. La metodología utilizada consiste en estimar regresiones de la brecha educativa y posteriormente aplicar la descomposición propuesta por Fields (1996) para determinar la importancia de los antecedentes familiares sobre los resultados de la brecha educativa. Los resultados indican que los adolescentes que provienen de hogares con padres más educados y con mayor ingreso per cápita presentan menores brechas educativas. Además, las regiones en las cuales el legado familiar explica en mayor medida las oportunidades de éxito socioeconómico de los adolescentes son Caribe, Valle del Cauca y Antioquia, las cuales corresponden a las regiones de menor movilidad.
