    This research seeks to find the impact of remittances on the labor market under a distributional approach, where it is expected that there will be a heterogeneous effect in the sample and that it will be much more pronounced in the lower percentiles. For this, the Quantile Regression technique is applied, where the effect of remittances on the distribution of labor income and hours worked is estimated. To reduce the presence of selection bias in the estimates, the data was matched through observable variables using Propensity Score Matching and Coarsened Exact Matching. The source of information used corresponds to the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses for the period 2015-2020. The results show the presence of a homogeneous effect through the distribution of hours worked, while for labor income differences were found along the distribution, the impact of remittances being stronger in the initial percentiles.
