Abstract

Se analiza la influencia del contexto familiar y barrial en el que se desarrolla el individuo (educación de padres, circunstancias observables e inobservables) en los resultados educativos formales para las cohortes nacidas entre 1955 y 1989 en un país en desarrollo: Uruguay. Se explota la información proveniente de la Encuesta Longitudinal de Protección Social que contiene información de padres, hijos y hermanos independientemente si cohabitan o no. Se analizan tres aproximaciones complementarias. Se utiliza como medida de resumen el porcentaje de la varianza de los anos de educación. Se encuentra que la educación del padre explica 28.6 % y la de la madre el 29.2 %. Desde un enfoque de igualdad de oportunidades, dicho valor es 39.6 %. Los contextos familiares y barriales compartidos por hermanos se estimaron en un 63 %. La importancia del contexto crece consistentemente en las últimas cohortes estudiadas. No se encontraron diferencias relevantes para hombres y mujeres.
