Patterns, Consequences, and Possible Causes of Dropout in Upper Secondary Education in Mexico

Abstract EN

The present study provides a detailed analysis of upper secondary education dropout patterns in Mexico, exploring its consequences and possible causes.

To perform the analysis we combine different databases and statistical methods ranging from the use of surveys with information on specific individuals to data aggregated at the municipal and state level.

The main value added is the simultaneous analysis of the influence of individual-family, community, and macroaggregate factors, on school dropout in the country.
