Infraestructura de puertos marítimos como determinante para el incremento de la competitividad en Colombia

El estudio de los puertos de Colombia como factor de competitividad para el país, surgió con el fin de entender la situación actual de los puertos y proponer posibles soluciones a las problemáticas actuales desde un punto de vista académico. Tras el análisis de las fortalezas y debilidades de los puertos marítimos de Colombia, nosotros como estudiantes de Administración de Negocios Internacionales hemos puesto nuestros conocimientos para proponer posibles soluciones a las dificultades que los puertos presentan con el fin de contribuir a que se desarrollen de manera adecuada y así lograr un servicio óptimo, con la más alta productividad y competitividad que permita el crecimiento del comercio exterior del país, generando un aumento de la competitividad del país, lo que se traduce en beneficios no solo para la sociedad contigua a los puertos pero a toda la población colombiana. Este trabajo presenta el estado actual de los puertos, como estos no se han podido utilizar de la manera más productiva, teniendo ventajas competitivas que nos permitirían avanzar hacia una economía más sólida. Las diversas dificultades que afrontan los puertos hoy en día se basan en su gran mayoría en la infraestructura con la que cuentan, lo que reduce de manera significativa el ingreso de navieras de gran tamaño, limitando las oportunidades de negocio y crecimiento. Lograr que los puertos colombianos alcancen un nivel de productividad alto requiere de inversión, tecnología, políticas de mejoramiento continuo y concientización de la importancia que son para el país no solo a nivel económico, ambiental y social también.

Gender differences on sexual behaviour and school inputs: evidence from Bogota.

This thesis explores the correlation between school factors and the differentiated results on sexual behaviour between boys and girls in Bogota. A school stratified propensity score matching was performed to match each boy of the sample with the most similar girls in individual, household and school characteristics. A regression analysis was performed to estimate the correlation between the five school factors evaluated with four main outcomes: have had sexual intercourse, condom use in the last sexual intercourse, incidence of teenage childbearing and age at first intercourse. Boys - in relation to girls - begin earlier their sexual life, more of them reported have used condom in their last sexual intercourse and have a lower incidence of teenage childbearing. These differences are correlated with have reported the school as main source of knowledge about reproductive health and contraceptive methods, a larger proportion of teachers with a graduate or postgraduate degree, a larger proportion of teachers with a related pedagogy degree and to the average age of teachers in the school. The results suggest that the content of the message about sex that is delivered to girls at school is not complete or accurate and that the competences of the school teachers in charge of this task should be improved to reach equally boys and girls.
