| description | Overeducation is a problem of inefficient allocation of human resources in productive activities. Different investigations highlight its consequences such as wage differences, unemployment especially among university graduates and, in the Colombian case, a low employability in the formal sector. In general, authors use different methods for its measurement, the most important being the subjective method, given by worker survey; the objective method, by database of information on individuals and the statistical method, in which deviations from the mean or median are used. Using information from the Great Integrated Household Survey 2022, this study seeks to quantify overeducation in Colombia from the statistical method and analyze its incidence according to interest groups. The results suggest a level of overeducation of 16.54%, a level of correct education of 61.15% and, finally, a level of undereducation of 22.31%. |

Different investigations highlight its consequences such as wage differences, unemployment especially among university graduates and, in the Colombian case, a low employability in the formal sector. In general, authors use different methods for its measurement, the most important being the subjective method, given by worker survey; the objective method, by database of information on individuals and the statistical method, in which deviations from the mean or median are used. Using information from the Great Integrated Household Survey 2022, this study seeks to quantify overeducation in Colombia from the statistical method and analyze its incidence according to interest groups. The results suggest a level of overeducation of 16.54%, a level of correct education of 61.15% and, finally, a level of undereducation of 22.31%. La sobreeducación es un problema de ineficiente asignación del recurso humano en las actividades productivas. Diferentes investigaciones resaltan sus consecuencias como diferencias salariales, desempleo especialmente en el graduado universitario y, en el caso colombiano, la poca empleabilidad en el sector formal. En general, los autores utilizan diferentes métodos para su medición, siendo los más importantes el método subjetivo, dado por encuesta al trabajador; el método objetivo, por base de datos de información sobre los individuos y el método estadístico, en el que se usan desviaciones con respecto a la media o mediana. Usando información de la Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares 2022, este estudio busca cuantificar la sobreeducación en Colombia a partir del método estadístico y analizar su incidencia según grupos de interés. Los resultados sugieren un nivel de sobreeducación de 16.54%, un nivel de correcta educación en el área laboral de 61.15% y por último de subeducación de 22.31%.
