Abstract:

This text aims to focus on the graduation of the secondary educational level as a guide for the set of agents’ opportunities to access to decent living conditions. From the specificity of the Córdoba´s empirical case, this article attends to the unequal distribution of secondary school capital between different social classes, and to the behavior that it acquires in the labor market. Starting from a quantitative approach, in which the social space for Gran Córdoba 2003-2011 is constructed, it can be observed the configuration of the school investments of the different social classes of Córdoba. To do this, the study uses the third quarter data exploration of the Permanent Household Survey in the periods 2003-2011, characterizing the present differences in terms of secondary level graduation, and the inequalities associated with possession of the secondary title in the labor market, as well as the evolution during the study period.
