redie-article-352017-04-19T01:08:57Z Higher Education and the Professional Job Market La educación superior y el mercado de trabajo profesional Mungaray Lagarda, Alejandro Higher education job market economy of education Educación superior mercado de trabajo economía de la educación. The paper deals with the relationship between the professional job market and institutions of higher education, within the framework of socioeconomic globalization and regional decentralization processes. The discussion focuses on how this relationship generates flaws in the market due to the role played by higher education as an intermediary between job applicants and those offering employment and professional opportunities; and due also to the fact that higher education institutions have their own objectives, which differ from those of the market. The article states the need to acknowledge and overcome the limitations which the concentration of income imposes on Latin American students’ access to this educational level and their continuance in it. The paper also stresses the need for a closer connection between academic and job practices through curricular changes and the certification of knowledge that will be useful on the job. This would allow a better correlation with the productive sector, in that it would improve the absorption of graduates. El trabajo plantea la relación entre el mercado profesional de trabajo y las instituciones de educación superior, en el marco de procesos de globalización económica y social y los de desconcentración regional. Se discute cómo esta relación genera imperfecciones de mercado debido al papel de intermediación que tiene la educación superior entre demandantes y oferentes de empleos y oportunidades profesionales, pero también debido a que las instituciones de educación superior funcionan con objetivos propios y diferentes a los de mercado. Se plantea la necesidad de reconocer y superar las limitantes que la concentración del ingreso imponen al acceso y permanencia de los estudiantes en este nivel educativo en América Latina, pero también la necesidad de acercar los procesos académicos a las prácticas del mundo del trabajo, a través de cambios curriculares y certificación de conocimientos laborales, que permitan una mayor vinculación con los sectores productivos, a través de una más adecuada absorción de los egresados.
