Resumen

ADROGUE, Cecilia  y  GARCIA DE FANELLI, Ana. Inequality Gaps in the Access to Higher Education in Argentina. Pág. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.2, pp.28-51.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 1688-7468.  https://doi.org/10.22235/pe.v14i2.2507.

In a context of limited selective admission mechanisms and tuition free studies in the public sector, Argentina’s social demand for higher education has grown vigorously. This article analyzes whether access to higher education in Argentina presents patterns of social inequality. To that end, the article analyzes whether each high school graduate’s participation differs according to their position in the economic stratification, the cultural capital of the home and the gender. After estimating a logistic regression model, we found that the chances to access higher education are lower for young people at the low socioeconomic level and those who are a first generation with university education. Youths living in households with lower economic income and cultural capital are also more likely to study tertiary fields than university ones and to attend a public institution than a private one

Palabras clave : higher education; access to education; educational equity; social inequality; cultural capital.
