During the last fifty years, the Bolivian economic growth has shown a virtual stagnation on the population's living conditions. Despite the efforts have been made, poverty affects the fifty percent of the population. Recent works concluded that the main explanatory cause of this situation is the low social mobility. The present paper investigate on the elements that are behind this low social mobility. The binding hypothesis follow that the marriage market could be acting as a mechanism that reinforces the low social mobility. Moreover, the marriage market is considered as an important link between social mobility and the labour market. The results shows, an evident strong marriage market segmentation that would slowdown the social mobility and, is a factor that lead to misallocations in the labour market.
