Resumen

YAMADA, Gustavo. Rendimientos de la educación superior en el mercado laboral. El caso de Perú. El trimestre econ [online]. 2009, vol.76, n.302, pp.485-511.  Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-718X.

Peru has experienced during the last decades a significant increase in its educational coverage at all levels, including higher education. However, currently high unemployment and underemployment rates cast doubt about the profitability of the investments in education undertaken. This paper estimates the evolution of the returns to education in the last two decades in Peru, and finds mixed evidence on the profitability of higher education in the Peruvian labor market. Due to the convexification of returns, university education shows average private and social rates of return estimated between 12 to 15%. On the contrary, non university higher education shows on average rather low private and social rates of return, even close to zero. Therefore, a deep evaluation on the effectiveness and relevance of that education level seems warranted.

Palabras llave : rendimientos de la educación; educación superior; mercado de trabajo; Perú.
