| dc.description | We examine the changes in the supply of Colombian workers with different levels of schooling and estimate the effect of these changes on salaries between 2008 and 2016 using a Mincer model. The share of the work force with primary schooling or less declined from 46% to 32.5%, the share with secondary schooling rose from 36% to 39.5%, and the share with tertiary schooling rose from 18 to 28%. We find that schooling had positive effects at every level of schooling, but particularly at the tertiary level. The marginal effect of a year of schooling declined at every level. In real terms we find an increase of 21% in average salaries for workers with primary schooling between 2008 and 2016 but few changes in average salaries among more educated workers. Since the share of more educated workers increased, total labor income in Colombia increased substantially over these years. | eng |

La proporción de la fuerza laboral con escolaridad de primaria o menos bajó de 46% a 32,5%, la proporción con escolaridad de secundaria aumentó de 36% a 39,5%, y con terciaria aumentó de 18% a 28%. Encontramos que la escolaridad presenta efectos positivos sobre el salario para cada nivel de educación, donde el nivel terciario es el que presenta mayor efecto. El efecto marginal de un año de escolaridad bajó en cada nivel entre 2008 y 2016. En términos reales encontramos un aumento de 21% en los salarios promedios de los obreros con primaria entre estas fechas. Encontramos pocos cambios en los salarios promedios de los obreros más educados. Puesto que la fracción de obreros más educados aumentó, hubo un aumento sustancial en el ingreso laboral total. | spa |
