Spanish Abstract: En este trabajo se estima el valor del stock de capital humano para Colombia en el periodo 2001-2009, a partir del enfoque de ingresos vitales. Se identifica una tasa de crecimiento del stock agregado de 3,24%, a la cual los hombres contribuyen en mayor medida, al igual que las personas con nivel educativo superior incompleto, mientras los individuos mas jovenes contribuyen mas por grupos de edad. Las tasas de inversion bruta, depreciacion y revaluacion estimadas en 7,48%, 4,44%, y 0,1%, respectivamente, arrojan una tasa de inversion neta de 3,09%. Finalmente, el stock es sensible a cambios parametricos, pero sus tasas de crecimiento parecen inalteradas.English Abstract: This study employed the lifetime income approach to estimate the value of Colombia’s human capital stock between 2001 and 2009. The findings demonstrate that aggregate stock grew 3.24% over the period. A gender breakdown showed that men contributed more to this growth rate than did women, as did those who had completed higher education compared to those who had not, while analysis by age group showed that younger individuals contributed more than their elders. Likewise, the rates of gross investment, depreciation and revaluation of human capital were estimated at 7.48%, 4.44% and 0.1% respectively, yielding a net investment rate of 3.09%. Finally, although the stock was sensitive to parametric changes, growth rates appeared relatively unaffected overall.
