Sumario: | The proportion of students enrolled in private schools has been increasing during the past years in Argentina, even for households with fewer socioeconomic resources. Thus, the study of educational segregation and its related factors have gained importance in economic research. This paper analyzes the influence of household socioeconomic factors on the probability that children attend a public or private school at both the primary and secondary levels in Argentina. It also shows the composition of the primary and secondary school student body according to the educational level of the head of household and the social class to which the household belongs, using data from the Permanent Household Survey for Argentina. The results are in line with complementary findings in the literature. |
