| Summary: | This document presents empirical evidence to understand the impacts of migration on the labor market in Colombia, through the estimation of a multinomial logit-type model for employment and unconditional quantile regression for the effect on wages with information from 2015 to 2019. For both estimates, a difference in differences model is used in order to determine the effect of migration. The main conclusion of the study indicates evidence of an effect on the distribution of employment and wages that refer to the most vulnerable groups, with less education and informality, through an increase in competition in the unskilled labor segment. The effect on wages is limited, but more evident in the lowest income quartiles of the income distribution, with a significant drop in job quality with increases in informality. |
