Abstract
This article examines intergenerational educational mobility for black middle classes in Bogotá, Cali and the total of the thirteen metropolitan areas. This work uses mobility tables, models of first-order Markov and probability transition matrices. The findings show that afrocolombian middle classes facing greater immobility compared to the no afrocolombian middle classes. This suggests the presence of racial/ethnic discrimination in general, but with stronger effects in Bogotá.
