Research Network Working Paper, 432. Critical choices at a critical age / Carlos H. Filgueira 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 432 Título : Critical choices at a critical age : youth emancipation paths and school attaiment in Latin America Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Carlos H. Filgueira ; Fernando Filgueira ; Alvaro Fuentes Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 49 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ADOLESCENTES AMERICA LATINA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO ROLES SOCIEDAD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper discusses how young people become adults in Latin America and how that process affects educational attainment. An examination of four countries at three levels of development shows that individuals' educational attainment is closely linked to the decisions that young people make regarding adult roles, here referred to as emancipation patterns. The paper documents differences among countries in the age at which young people start working, marry and leave the educational system. Factor and hazard analyses further show how these dimensions vary according to gender and income within countries and how they affect the chances that young people will remain in the educational system. Findings indicate that countries' development levels strongly affect the modal ages at which people become adults, hastening the process in less-developed countries and delaying it at higher stages of development. Second, within countries males and females present distinct risk factors regarding educational attainment; public roles (work) increase the risk of drop-out for men and private roles (marriage) increase this risk for women. In addition, and as expected, lower income groups are more at risk and present earlier adoption of adult values than higher income groups. The interrelation of income and gender operate differently in emancipation patterns and in how public and private adult roles affect the chances of remaining in the educational system. Consequently, in order to increase educational attainment the sequence and timing of adult role adoption have to be factored into policies.

Research Network Working Paper, 433. Social mobility in Latin America / Lykke E. Andersen 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 433 Título : Social mobility in Latin America : links with adolescent schooling Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Lykke E. Andersen Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 45 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ADOLESCENTES AMERICA LATINA ASPECTOS SOCIALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO EDUCACION EDUCACION SECUNDARIA Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper proposes a new measure of social mobility. It is based on schooling gap regressions and uses the Fields decomposition to determine the importance of family background in explaining teenagers` schooling gaps. The method is applied to a sample of 18 Latin American household surveys conducted in the late 1990s. We find Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru among the countries with the highest social mobility, and Guatemala and Brazil among the least socially mobile countries. The results show that social mobility is positively correlated with GDP and general educational attainment, but not related to income inequality in any obvious way. Social mobility is generally higher in highly urbanized countries. The schooling gap regressions also reveal differences in opportunities within the family. Resources are clearly being diverted away from older siblings (especially sisters) towards younger siblings. In addition, it is an advantage to be born into the household relatively late in the lifecycle of the parents. For most countries, female teenagers were found to have significantly smaller schooling gaps than male teenagers. This did not make them significantly more mobile, however.

Research Network Working Paper, 468. Adolescents and young adults in Latin America, critical decisions at a critical age / Josefina Bruni Celli 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 468 Título : Adolescents and young adults in Latin America, critical decisions at a critical age : young adult labor market experience Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Josefina Bruni Celli ; Richard Obuchi Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 55 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ADOLESCENTES AMERICA LATINA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO EMPLEO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This study explores and analyzes the labor market experience of young adults in 18 Latin American countries. For men, the period of young adulthood (18-25 years of age) was found to be one of smooth convergence towards patterns associated with full adulthood. Females show more complex and less clear-cut trajectories, which seem to be affected by entrance into motherhood. Educational attainment shapes the labor market experience of young adults, regardless of gender: the more educated postpone entry into the market, and more educated women display higher participation rates as they reach late young adulthood. Also, during young adulthood, the more educated display higher unemployment rates, possibly because they are newer in the market, but their rate of participation in the informal sector of the economy is lower. Female labor market experience was found to be affected by motherhood. In many countries women with lower levels of education leave the labor market during young adulthood, while women with higher levels of education postpone such exits and are also less likely to leave. Finally, young Latin American adults with college education were found to experience rapid labor market absorption, featuring swift entry into the formal sector, high participation rates and low and rapidly decreasing unemployment rates. Earnings equations show that education, experience and gender have significant and positive effects on the earnings of young adults. In general, returns from education increase with age and educational level, with the sharpest marginal change occurring in early young adulthood. Return for education and experience of young adults tend to be close to those obtained by prime age adults, although in the case of experience the returns obtained by young adults tend to be larger. In general, formal education has a consistently larger effect than experience. Although the previous findings hold for young adults in almost all countries included in the study, it is important to note that the individual countries results show large variation in the levels of all coefficients (education, experience and gender) and among age groups.

Research Network Working Paper, 469. Working and studying in rural Latin America / Lorena Alcazar 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 469 Título : Working and studying in rural Latin America : critical decisions of adolescence Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Lorena Alcazar ; Silvio Rendon ; Erik Wachtenheim Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 43 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ADOLESCENTES AMERICA LATINA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO EDUCACION EMPLEO TRABAJO ZONA RURAL Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper evaluates the determinants of school attendance and work of rural adolescents between 10 and 18 years old in 1997-1998 for a sample of Latin American countries. Rural adolescents are quite disadvantaged relative to their urban counterparts. The share of rural adolescents studying while concurrently working part-time is significantly higher, household income is significantly lower, “supply-side” issues are an important factor in rural non-attendance, and to the extent that the educational attainment of the parents creates inter-generational persistence we find that rural youth are starting from a disadvantaged position. We present some statistical analysis that highlights these problems and also perform bivariate binary estimation to identify the determinants of these decisions. We find that for most countries critical determinants for making these choices are household income and parental education as well as household composition. Further, we find that there is evidence of a significant “trade-off” between working and studying. Finally, inter-generational factors allow for both a virtuous cycle and a vicious cycle.

Research Network Working Paper, 470. Adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean / Naercio Menezes Filho

We find that an econometric model with household and country-level variables, when applied simultaneously to all the countries in the sample, is able to predict quite well the choices among school, work, both or neither in most of the countries. Moreover, the household variables alone, especially parental education, go a long way towards predicting the rates of school attendance, which means that the stage of development, as measured by per capita GDP for example, impacts human capital accumulation mainly through the households’characteristics.
