Abstract

Se realiza una descripción del mercado laboral en Valledupar en el periodo 2007-2017 encontrando que, a partir de la caída de los precios del carbón desde 2014, este se deterioró de manera significativa, reflejándose en una mayor tasa de desempleo especialmente de los más educados, las mujeres y los jóvenes. Los resultados econométricos, utilizando datos mensuales hasta 2016, confirman que los cambios en los precios del carbón tienen un efecto positivo en la participación laboral y en los salarios reales. Adicionalmente, se encuentra que los retornos a la educación superior en Valledupar son menores respecto de otras ciudades del país, especialmente para los universitarios, a pesar del proceso de convergencia en la composición de la fuerza laboral educada. **** ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present a description of the labour market in Valledupar for the period 2007-2017. We find that after the fall of coal prices, the labour market has presented a significant deterioration, reflected in the increase of unemployment rate, especially for the most educated, women and youth. The econometric results, by using monthly data up to 2016, confirm that changes in coal prices have a positive and significant effect in labour participation and real wages. Moreover, we find that the return of higher education in Valledupar is lower compared to the rest of cities in Colombia, even when taking into account the convergence process of the composition of educated labour force.
