BERMUDEZ RICO, Rosa Emilia. The Skilled Colombian Immigrant Population Residing in the United States. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2015, n.29, pp.107-125. ISSN 1657-6357.

In this article, the highly qualified Colombian population resident in the United States is characterized. Based on the information available at The American Community Survey, it presents a detailed socio-demographic description and identifies trends that characterize this population between 2000-2011. The analysis shows the dynamism achieved by this migrational flux; indicates a greater and more qualified participation of women and discusses the place taken by it in the South-North skilled mobility

Keywords : skilled migration; Colombians in the United States; South-North flows.
