El nivel de instrucción como determinante fundamental del ingreso de largo plazo de las personas en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract:Thisresearch explains the relationship between the income perceived by Ecuadorians and the level of education they have, todetermine whether is a congruence between what each person perceives and their vocational training. To prove the existence of such a relationship, we proceeded to investigate theories that support the issue raised, implementing the Mincerian modeling and Heckman's two-stage model, and finally we showthe results obtained, demonstrating that as the educational or professional training of a person increases (with the passage of time and the experience acquired) their labor income tends to increase. The conclusion is that in Ecuador there is a clear salary gap between men and women,and both unified general high school and higher education are the ones with the highest returns to education.
