El objetivo del presente artículo es identificar los determinantes que explican las diferencias en las tasas de participación laboral de las mujeres —con y sin hijos— en la Costa Caribe y en Colombia. Para tal propósito se realizaron modelos probit de los determinantes de la participación de cada grupo de mujeres, y se implementó el método de descomposición microeconométrica aplicado a los modelos de elección binaria. Los resultados sugieren a que tanto en la Costa Caribe como en Colombia las variables que explican dichas diferencias son: la escolaridad, la no tenencia de pareja y, en menor medida, la riqueza.

The aim of this article is to identify the determinants of the differences in the labor supply rates between the women with and without children in Colombia and its Caribbean Coasty. In order to achieve this, Probit models about the determinants of the labor supply rate for each group of women were estimated and the microeconometric decomposition method was applied to the binary models. The results suggest that in the Caribbean Coast of Colombia —as well as in the rest of the country— the main variables to explain such differences are: education, being single and wealth in a lesser degree.
