Abstract

Boyacá es un departamento de contrastes. Por un lado, posee buenos indicadores en educación y en sus instituciones, que lo ubican como uno de los departamentos más competitivos, y en el otro extremo, tiene un aparato productivo y unos indicadores de pobreza que no muestran un desempeno muy destacado en el país. Este trabajo analiza las cifras recientes en estos temas e identifica características geográficas propias del departamento que pueden estar relacionadas con los resultados de competitividad como: el mayor número de municipios, de menor tamano y más cercanos entre sí. ******ABSTRACT: Boyacá is a department of contrasts. On the one hand, Boyacá has good indicators in education and its institutions, which place it as one of the departments more competitive. On the other hand, Boyacá has a productive system and poverty indicators which show no performance very prominent in the country. This paper analyzes recent figures on these issues and identifies geographical characteristics of the department that may be related to the good performance in competitiveness as: the largest number of municipalities, smaller and closer together.
