La relación entre la formación superior y la inserción profesional en países latinoamericanos
Summary: The purpose of the article is to analyze the employment situation of professionals with a higher education level in different Latin American countries, specifically observing the distances and correspondences between educational credentials and job qualifications. Our observation puts the accent on this point, how possible is it to obtain an adequate professional insertion of graduates of higher education according to the latest data in Latin America considering the development context of each of the selected countries? Along these lines, the questions that guide us are: is it the occupational insertion of university students similar between men and women? In turn, age also appears as a symptomatic variable of experiences, abilities, and the consolidation of formal studies. The form of labor consolidation implies clear differences regarding the type of insertion and economic results according to the age of the employed person. Finally, we ask: in which branches or occupations are the greatest similarities and divergences observed? For this, we use data collected by Latinobarómetro Survey from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador,Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panamá,Paraguay, Perú, Uruguay and Venezuela. As well as the information from the United Nations Human Development Index, to give the context in which this insertion is developed in each country.
