Title: Condiciones laborales del sector turismo en Argentina: el rol de la educación y la especialización turística

Abstract: This thesis analyses the labour market and the returns to education of tourism in Argentina for the period 2007-2017. We use Mincer regressions with the Heckman correction and we add controls for the characteristics of the person and the job position. The data used comes from the Permanent Household Survey of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos from Argentina. We find that the returns to education are greater in the tourism sector compared to the rest of the services and the rest of the economy, even when including controls by region. In tourism, the difference in returns by gender is not statistically significant. After incorporating tourism specialization, working in specialized regions generates a wage premium for women in the tourism sector. The interaction between this variable and the educational levels, however, brings a buffer effect in the returns of these workers.
