The assumption that greater education levels of a given population leads to better employability
levels thanks to higher education institutions (HEI) is widely known. However, most of
the research related to HEI is focused on the determination of efficiency levels from an eminently
academic perspective. The objective of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of the
efficiency degree of Latin American universities in terms of labor insertion for their graduate alumni,
in order to evaluate the Sustainable Development Goal 8 related to decent work and economic growth.
The data enveloping analysis (DEA) methodology was implemented. Main results showed different
levels of labor efficiency among the studied institutions that were classified into eight groups of
universities. Likewise, it was noted that Latin American university students showed employment
levels above those of workers with lower levels of education and training.
