Resumen
Este documento aporta nueva evidencia sobre las estimaciones de movilidad social en Colombia. En particular se utiliza una metodología que ha sido llevada a cabo en varios países de la región, con el propósito de estimar la movilidad social intergeneracional por ingresos. Adicionalmente se estima el índice de desigualdad de oportunidades, para encontrar posibles explicaciones a la movilidad social. Dentro de los principales hallazgos se destaca que la movilidad social por ingresos es baja, ligeramente menor que las medidas que utilizan las condiciones de vida y muy similar a las medidas que utilizan educación. También se encontró que Colombia está dentro de los países con menor movilidad, lo que es consistente con los altos niveles de desigualdad. Finalmente, se destaca que la baja movilidad está explicada en su mayoría por las condiciones al nacer y la baja igualdad de oportunidades que existe en el país.
Abstract. This document contributes with new evidence on the estimates of social mobility in Colombia. In particular, we applied a methodology that has been conducted in several countries in the region, in order to estimate the income intergenerational social mobility. Additionally, we measured the index of inequality of opportunity to get possible explanations for social mobility. The evidence suggests that income social mobility is slightly lower than common used measures as living condition. We also found that Colombia is among the countries with lower mobility, which is consistent with the high levels of inequality. Finally, we proved that low mobility is explained mostly by conditions at birth and the low equality of opportunities that exists in the country.
