description This article examines the wage returns of young people and adults, considering the effect of education and experience. It is taken into account, especially, the point of view of human capital theory and its criticisms, to evaluate the relationship between education, experience and salary. The empirical analysis is based on the Mincer model, but through quantile regressions, to determine by 10 quantiles in each group as wage returns are given. It is verified that for young people there is greater impact of acquire experience than education on the wage returns, which affects labor insertion and obtaining higher income.

Este artículo analiza los retornos salariales de los jóvenes y adultos, comparando la influencia de la educación y la experiencia. Se examina principalmente la teoría del capital humano y las críticas a esta, a través del estudio de la relación entre educación, experiencia y salarios. El análisis empírico se base en el modelo de Mincer, pero mediante las regresiones cuantílicas, para determinar, por 10 cuantiles en cada grupo, cómo se dan los retornos salariales. Se comprueba que para los jóvenes hay mayor impacto de adquirir experiencia que la educación sobre los retornos salariales, lo que afecta la inserción laboral y el obtener mayores ingresos laborales.
