Desajuste entre Educación y Empleo en América Latina. La relevancia de los factores institucionales: el caso de Cuba

Autores/as

Palabras clave:

desajuste ocupacional, subeducación, sobreeducación, América Latina, Cuba

Resumen

Estudios realizados en América Latina indican que la cuota de graduados, aunque ha aumentado, continúa siendo insuficiente para el desarrollo de sociedades basadas en el conocimiento. Sin embargo, hay evidencia de que una cuota no despreciable de trabajadores se encuentra en una situación de sobreeducación. Un patrón similar se encuentra también en los países europeos mediterráneos. Esta problemática responde al tema del desajuste entre educación y empleo, que ha sido debatido desde la década de los años 70 del pasado siglo en los países industrializados norteamericanos y europeos. El artículo ofrece un análisis comparativo de las principales cuestiones teóricas y metodológicas del desajuste ocupacional. Se enfoca en los estudios realizados en América Latina y aporta un análisis del caso de Cuba, donde el fenómeno del desajuste ocupacional tiene características propias con respecto al resto de los países de la región. El análisis destaca que los determinantes institucionales tienen un papel clave en el desajuste educación-empleo.
