QUEJADA, Raúl Francisco  and  AVILA GUTIERREZ, Jorge Nelson. Over‐education in Colombia: an analysis of the determinants and misalignments of the labor market at a national and regional context. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.28, pp.219-236. ISSN 1514-6871.

This research addresses the phenomenon of over-education in Colombia, contextualized in the Caribbean Coast of the country. Methodologically, employed a probabilistic model Logit type to constrain the presence and /or absence of on education in the face of changes in variables such as age of the individual, type of contract, occupation of the same, and region of origin/residence. The results suggest that in the Colombian Caribbean Coast, the phenomenon of on education is presented in smaller proportion compared with the aggregate national and the great cities of the interior of the country. By way of conclusion establishes that over-education in Colombia can be solved with an analysis of productive vocations territorial (of departments and municipalities) and the coordination between the educational system and the labor market demand.

Keywords : Over-education; Labor market; Educational system; Productive vocation.
