Mexico : Earnings Inequality after Mexico's Economic and Educational Reforms, Volume 2. Background Papers
The study reviews the forces driving
Mexico's inequality, in particular, the recent
expansion in earnings inequality, emphasizing the roles of
education on: establishing an analytical framework, that
allows interaction between education, and labor market;
examining the evolution of earnings inequality, following
the macroeconomic, and educational policies of the 80s, and
90s; exploring best practices for the use, and allocation of
public educational resources, in light of foreseeable
increases in earnings inequality; and, identifying those
areas of educational public policy, which impact student
graduation. The study argues on the student's
decision-making at the secondary, and tertiary levels,
concerning the disciplines to pursue, - a choice clearly
influenced by several factors - such as taste, abilities,
family background, etc. Though some factors may be
intrinsic, others could be used as policy tools, to provide
advice on best study options, but insufficient effort on the
part of educational institutions, and weak information,
restrain best option selection. Theoretical support is
suggested, to develop basic education, and increase access
to the poor; upgrade the level of secondary education; and,
improve financial access to higher education. The study
contains two volumes, Volume 1 - the main document,
summarizes the findings of the background papers, contained
in volume 2.
