La vision es solo economica, poniendo enfasis en las condiciones laborales de quienes han pasado por el sistema de educacion superior y la rentabilidad economica asociada a esta decision. Para un porcentaje importante de la poblacion, particularmente aquellos que no se titulan, el paso por el sistema de educacion superior puede no significar mejores condiciones economicas que las que hubiesen tenido en caso de no haber pasado por el. El analisis de este articulo demuestra la urgencia de presentar mas y mejor evidencia respecto del verdadero rol del sistema de educacion superior como generador de movilidad social. ?Contribuye el sistema de educacion superior a la movilidad social? Por supuesto que si, toda vez que este sea de calidad y el estudiante tenga la capacidad para aprovecharlo. EnglishThis paper presents new evidence of the role of higher education in social mobility. Based on simple economic principles, the text emphasizes the importance of analyzing the working conditions of those individuals who have recently gone through the system of higher education in Chile. The empirical results show that for a significant fraction, particularly those who do complete their degree, having gone through the system of higher education may not translate into better economic conditions. The analysis demonstrates the urgency of presenting more precise and comprehensive evidence of the true role of the system of higher education as driver of social mobility. Does the system of higher education contribute to social mobility? Of course it does, as long as the quality of education is secured and the student has the capacity to take advantage of it.
