Abstract

Colombia es un pa�s con alta desigualdad de ingresos y la mayor�a de sus ciudadanos considera inequitativa esta situaci�n. De all� la relevancia de medir qu� tan lejos est� Colombia y sus regiones de un ideal de igualdad de oportunidades entre los ni�os y los j�venes. Este documento busca establecer �Cu�l ha sido el avance nacional y regional de la igualdad de oportunidades en la �ltima d�cada? �Cu�les son las circunstancias que est�n m�s estrechamente asociadas a la desigualdad de oportunidades de los ni�os colombianos? �En cu�les sectores se est� ofreciendo mayor acceso a bienes y servicios b�sicos de vivienda, de educaci�n, de salud y TICs, y a niveles adecuados de nutrici�n, independientemente de las circunstancias menos favorables del hogar y del lugar que ellos habitan? Durante la �ltima d�cada Colombia logr� importantes avances en varios �ndices de Oportunidades Humanas, pero a�n subsisten considerables brechas de oportunidades entre ni�os en circunstancias favorables y desfavorables. Las siete mayores brechas de oportunidades se dan en la culminacion de educaci�n primaria, media y secundaria a tiempo, en la Seguridad Alimentaria, en el acceso a Agua y Saneamiento, y en el acceso a Internet. En la comparaci�n de regiones sobresalen los avances de la regi�n Oriental (compuesta por los departamentos de Boyac�, Cundinamarca, Meta y Santanderes) y preocupa el atraso de las regiones Atlantica y Pac�fica (particularmente en seguridad alimentaria). Cuatro circunstancias juegan un papel preponderante en la desigualdad de oportunidades: (i) educaci�n de los padres, (ii) localizaci�n urbano-rural (AMs y Capitales de departamento, centros urbanos medianos y peque�os, y rural), (iii) la localizaci�n por Regiones, y, (iv) la presencia de hijos, ancianos y discapacitados en el hogar.
