Sumario:This paper presents the phenomenon of the private universities that have emerged in our country during the nineties. This increase of alternatives to access to higher education has generated a sense of significant progress in terms of social mobility opportunities for middle class youth. However, we point that this quantitative increase has caused rather a very strong professional market segmentation. That is, it has not reduced educational gaps; on the contrary, it has probably increased them. In search of items that hold this idea, we propose to develop a profile of the young people attending the Private University César Vallejo, based on a comparison of some aspects about supply and demand.
