RODRIGUEZ, Santiago Andrés. Achievements in Higher Education and Intergenerational Educational Mobility in Argentina. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.88, pp.167-200. ISSN 2007-8358.

The aim of this article is to probe the degree of correlation between social origins and achievement in higher education and analyze patterns of intergenerational educational mobility in Argentina. The author uses data from a 2010 survey about stratification and social mobility in the country. The research limits itself to Argentina nationwide in the year 2010. The estimates of logistical regression models for the three age groups suggest a moderate reduction in unequal educational opportunities over time. The analysis of educational mobility through log-linear models shows that the greatest reproduction can be seen at the top and at the base of the educational structure.

Keywords : higher education; intergenerational educational mobility; social origins; logistical and log-linear models; persistent inequality; Argentina.
