FAVILA TELLO, Antonio  and  NAVARRO CHAVEZ, José César Lenin. Educational inequality and its relationship to income distribution in the Mexican states. CPU-e. Rev. Investig. Educ [online]. 2017, n.24, pp.75-98. ISSN 1870-5308.

This paper addresses the issue of educational inequality in Mexico quantifying the Gini coefficients for education by state for 2015; then this data is used as input to inquire about the relationship between inequality in the distribution of quarterly household income and the degree of educational inequality in these entities , using the ordinary least squares method . The results suggest the existence of deep inequality gaps between entities, locating the most adverse conditions in Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero and Michoacán. Also a minor influence of educational inequality on income inequality in the Mexican states is proven.

Keywords : Educational inequality; Gini coefficient; schooling; economic income.
