Abstract
Los requisitos de contratación que piden las empresas van más allá de la formación académica. Ahora se exige que los candidatos puedan integrarse a los equipos de trabajo, resolver problemas o comunicarse de manera efectiva con sus compañeros. Al analizar 646 036 ofertas de trabajo en línea en México (agosto de 2021 a junio de 2022), encontramos que las habilidades sociales (26%) y cognitivas (22%) son las más buscadas. Además, cuando la educación universitaria se combina con las habilidades cognitivas, las empresas ofrecen un salario 6% más alto y, cuando la vacante hace explícito el género, el salario ofertado a las mujeres es 12% menor al de los hombres. Estos hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de modernizar el sistema educativo y cultivar las habilidades que demandan los empleadores.
