Abstract

The following document seeks to quantify the differentiated effects of the educational level of the inhabitants of Medellín and its metropolitan area for the 2016 period: 4 on the decision to participate in the labor market, based on the Great Integrated Household Survey (GEIH). There was a variable that categorizes the individuals in the sample in: no education, basic primary, media, technical and technological, professional and more. In addition to this, some sociodemographic variables were included, such as sex, head of household and age. For the estimation of the model, a logistic regression was used. It was found that the probability of participating in the labor market increases 12.3% due to being a man, 11.48% for being head of household. For the educational level, it was found that the probability increases 10% for individuals with primary education, 13% for individuals with secondary education, 18.84% for individuals with a technical or technological degree, and finally 18.31% for those who obtained a degree of professional or more.
