¿Cómo evoluciona el nivel educativo entre generaciones en Asia (Pacífico y Oriente Medio)?

Claver Sanz, Raúl (2022): ¿Cómo evoluciona el nivel educativo entre generaciones en Asia (Pacífico y Oriente Medio)?

Abstract

This work explores the degree of intergenerational transmission of education for a sample of more than 19 developing countries for the geographical area that makes up the Asian region, over a time horizon from 1870 to 2010. The quantification of this transmission has revealed considerably high intergenerational correlation indices of more than 0.5, showing a very high transmission of education from one generation to the next, severely constraining patterns of evolution and development and thus stagnating overall growth. In this sense, it documents how this trend towards a lack of intergenerational educational mobility has been one of the reasons for the stagnation of economic growth and development in this region.
