KRUGER, Natalia  y  FORMICHELLA, María Marta. Unequal educational opportunities in a fragmented urban space. Prob. Des [online]. 2024, vol.55, n.217, pp.61-88.  Epub 18-Nov-2024. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2024.217.70103.

This research examines how educational and socioeconomic inequalities are articulated and manifested in the urban space of the population of Bahía Blanca, Argentina. It also analyzes the unequal spatial distribution of families’ educational, economic and cultural capital and its influence on young people’s educational trajectories in terms of access, persistence and progression. A methodological strategy combining different quantitative techniques and using a primary, up-to-date, representative source of information for the whole city was used. The results obtained suggest that the fragmentation of urban space both reflects and contributes to the production and persistence of unequal educational and social opportunities for young people.

Palabras llave : unequal opportunities; educational trajectories; secondary education; segregation; urban space.
