This article analyzes the occupational conditions and professional performance of economists from the University of Nariño, Colombia in accordance with the university policy of self-evaluation and permanent improvement of academic quality. This study employs a mixed observational prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive approach, which considers primary information collected through surveys and interviews with a representative number of alumni who graduated between 1979-I and 2020-II. The use of statistical and econometric methods, as well as the rigorous analysis of qualitative data, demonstrate the professional success of economists in their labor insertion, reduced search period before obtaining their first job, a moderate unemployment rate, the advances in postgraduate training and non-discrimination in employment. In addition, the research shows gender wage balance and the equitable distribution of income between women and men.
