Abstract

VARGAS-VALLE, Eunice Danitza  and  ORRACA-ROMANO, Pedro Paulo. School reentry and its link to family and working life of three generations in Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.97, pp.227-254. ISSN 2448-7147.  https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.97.31.

Based on the 2011 Retrospective Demographic Survey (EDER 2011, in Spanish), this paper analyzes the school reentry of three generations in Mexico and its associated factors, as well as the level of education attained and type of occupation after school reentry. To this end, life tables, discrete-time logistic models and descriptive statistics are employed. The results show the importance of a low-intensity job, employment in the public sector, and the child-rearing stage for school reentry, as well as the opportunity that this investment in human capital provides to achieve higher educational attainment and secure a better job. The results support the importance of education policies that promote school reentry for young people.

Keywords : Schooling; employment; children; trajectories; youth.
