Education, Equity and Development: Economics of Education and Social Mobility
Palabras clave:
economía de la educación, equidad educativa, movilidad social, inflación educativa, desarrollo económicoSinopsis
Education, Equity and Development: Economics of Education and Social Mobility reúne una serie de análisis orientados a comprender la interacción entre educación, desarrollo económico, equidad y movilidad social desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria. La obra examina los principales desafíos que enfrentan los sistemas educativos contemporáneos en contextos de profundas transformaciones sociales y económicas, cuestionando la premisa de que la expansión de la escolarización garantiza, por sí misma, el desarrollo y la reducción de las desigualdades.
A través de cuatro capítulos, el libro aborda la economía de la educación, el fenómeno de la inflación educativa y la credencialización, las desigualdades estructurales en el acceso y permanencia educativa, las oportunidades de financiamiento mediante programas de becas y la relación entre la educación superior y el mercado laboral. El análisis incorpora fundamentos teóricos provenientes de la economía, la sociología y las políticas públicas, complementados con evidencia empírica, estudios de caso y análisis estadísticos que permiten comprender la complejidad de los procesos educativos en América Latina y otros contextos internacionales.
La obra constituye una contribución dirigida a investigadores, docentes, responsables de políticas públicas y estudiantes de educación, economía y ciencias sociales interesados en comprender el papel estratégico de la educación para promover sociedades más equitativas, competitivas y sostenibles. Su enfoque crítico y sustentado en evidencia posiciona este volumen como un referente para el estudio de las relaciones entre capital humano, desarrollo y justicia social.
