Essays on the influence of schooling on artisanal fishing in Colombia

Abstract

En general, la falta de oportunidades de ingresos alternativos es un problema que afecta a la pesca en pequeña escala, tanto marina como continental. Debido a esto, los pescadores intensifican el esfuerzo pesquero. Por lo tanto, algunas evidencias han demostrado que las soluciones a este problema pueden encontrarse fuera de la actividad. Por lo general, las comunidades que se dedican a esta actividad están ubicadas en zonas rurales remotas, con muy pocas oportunidades de empleo que tienden a incluir a personas no calificadas, pobres y sin tierra que dependen de los ingresos derivados únicamente de la pesca. De este modo, las pesquerías de acceso abierto se consideran como el último recurso para los hogares de pescadores cuando no se obtiene una fuente diferente de ingresos. El objetivo de esta investigación es explicar que invertir en educación ayuda a evitar el agotamiento de las economías dependientes en recursos naturales. Por tanto, se argumenta que invertir en educación promueve la gestión eficiente de los recursos elimina el efecto negativo causado por su auge, fomenta la mejora tecnológica y aumenta la posibilidad de sustitución entre los factores de producción y las actividades económicas. En consecuencia, al mejorar el conjunto de capacidades como la educación, los pescadores pueden diversificar sus actividades de medios de vida fortaleciendo sus ingresos, asegurando el desarrollo de la comunidad y reduciendo su vulnerabilidad. Bajo esta premisa, esta investigación presenta los resultados de tres estudios de caso de comunidades pesqueras a pequeña escala en Colombia. El objetivo de esta investigación es contribuir a la discusión argumentando que también se pueden encontrar soluciones para el problema con respecto a la presión sobre las pesquerías mejorando el capital humano y proporcionando diferentes oportunidades económicas para cada comunidad pesquera.

Generally, the lack of alternative income opportunities is a problem that affects the smallscale fisheries, both marine and inland. Due to this, laborers in the activity intensify the fishing effort. Thereof, some findings have shown that solutions to this problem might be found outside the activity. Usually, communities that depend on this activity are located in remote rural areas, with very few employment opportunities tending to include non-skilled, poor, and landless people who rely their livelihoods only on fishing. Then, open access fisheries are considered as a last resort for fishing households when a failure to obtain a different source of income exists. This research aims to explain that investing in education helps to avoid depletion of resource-based economies. Then, it is argued that investing in education promotes efficient management of resources, eliminates the negative effect caused by a resource boom, encourages technological improvement, and increases the possibility of substitution between production factors and economic activities. Accordingly, by enhancing the set of capabilities such as education, fishermen can diversify their livelihood activities strengthening their income, ensuring the community development and reducing their vulnerability. Under this premise, this research presents findings from three case studies from small-scale fishing communities from Colombia. The objective of this research is to contribute to the discussion by arguing that solutions for the problem regarding the pressure on fisheries can also be found by enhancing human capital and providing different economic opportunities of fishing communities.
