Resumo

En este trabajo se estima el efecto que tienen distintos choques a los hogares sobre el logro académico de los niños. Mediante un modelo de regresión lineal, se encuentra un efecto adverso de la presencia de choques sobre el puntaje de la prueba Saber 11. Además, los resultados sugieren que el trabajo infantil es un mecanismo por el cual los choques afectan negativamente la acumulación de capital humano. Al explorar efectos heterogéneos por sexo y edad, las estimaciones indican que el efecto de los choques es guiado por los hombres y los adolescentes mayores a 14 años.

This paper analyzes the effect of different household shocks on children's academic achievement. Using a linear regression model, an adverse effect of the presence of shocks on test scores is found. In addition, the results suggest that child labor is a mechanism by which household shocks negatively affect human capital accumulation. By exploring heterogeneous effects by sex and age, estimates indicate that the effect of shocks is guided by men children and teenagers older than 14 years.
