| description | This document evaluates the impact of new technologies use on wages in Colombia in 2018. For this analysis, a Propensity Score Matching model is used to evaluate the impact of the use of learning technologies on the wages and years of education of Colombians, based on the 2018 quality of life survey. The results show that the use of the computer, laptop, tablet, internet, transferred files, Excel and radio for learning have a positive impact on the wages of Colombians. This research allows a better understanding of the technological effects on wages and provides information for the design of public policies in the development of technological skills. |

Este documento evalúa el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías en los salarios en el Mercado laboral colombiano durante el año 2018. En el análisis se utiliza un modelo de emparejamiento por puntaje de propensión (Propensity Score Matching) con el fin de evaluar el uso de las nuevas tecnologías en los salarios y años educativos de los colombianos con base en la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida del año 2018. Los resultados muestran que el uso de las computadoras, computadores portátiles, tabletas, internet, transferencia de documentos, MS Excel y radio utilizados para el aprendizaje tienen un impacto positivo en los salarios de los colombianos. Esta investigación permite comprender los efectos de la tecnología sobre los salarios y provee información para el diseño de políticas públicas para el desarrollo de competencias tecnológicas.
