    Minería mecanizada en el Departamento del Chocó : ¿fuente de crecimiento económico y bienestar?
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Albornoz Torres, Sandra Vanessa; Cújar Couttin, Darío; Muñoz Mora, Juan Carlos
    This article takes a descriptive approach to the relationship between the increase in mechanized gold mining and the evolution of economic growth and social welfare in the department of Chocó. The consolidation of gold production in the region has generated extra income to the municipalities through the General Royalties System (SGR), which increases the funds available for social investment and growth. To verify this intuition, the paper uses descriptive statistics to analyze trends in mining production in Chocó and the various social investment projects financed with royalty revenues. In addition, information is presented on the behavior of socioeconomic indicators related to education, health, employment and poverty, with the purpose of observing whether the social investment from royalty revenues is reflected in the variation of the behavior of these variables. The descriptive analysis shows that despite the increase in production and SGR revenues in Chocó, the results in education, employment and poverty do not show a significant improvement. However, despite this, the contribution from royalties is not considered ineffective, because the behavior of these indicators is linked to structural problems of the different governmental entities that make up the department, which is beyond the scope of this work.
