Abstract

En este documento se estudia la caracterización del mercado laboral en el sector hotelero de Cartagena y las principales áreas metropolitanas. Para ello se analizan de manera descriptiva los principales indicadores laborales y se estiman los retornos a la educación y a la experiencia en el sector, utilizando las ecuaciones de Mincer y la corrección de Heckman. Los resultados indican que el nivel educativo en el sector hotelero es bajo y que las características laborales difieren del sector turismo agregado. Como se ha encontrado en otros estudios, las mujeres empleadas en la hotelería perciben un salario menor que el de los hombres. Además, se observa que Cali y Medellín presentan las tasas de informalidad promedio más altas en el sector hotelero, mientras que Cartagena la tasa de informalidad más baja. ******ABSTRACT: This paper presents a characterization of the hotel industry labor market in Cartagena and the main Colombian metropolitan areas, and the returns on education and experience applying Mincer’s wage equations and Heckman correction. The results indicate low educational level from workers in this sector and the labor indicators differ from the tourism sector labor indicators, women received lower wages than men, which was consistent to the literature reviewed, and Cali and Medellin were the cities with the highest informality levels in the hospitality sector, while Cartagena presented the lowest one.
