School dropout: recent scenario in Brazil

IMDS inaugurates one more thematic axis of studies that seek to understand the development of human capital of the country’s children, adolescents and young people, as well as understand how the context in which they live influences this construction. This is another effort to build diagnoses that guide ways to reduce inequality of opportunities and promote social mobility.

Based on data from the National Continuous Household Sample Survey (Continuous PNAD), we have built educational indicators for young people from 15 to 21 years of age that map out whether they are studying or are out of school, whether they have completed basic education, the reasons for their leaving school for those who do not attend and have not completed, the highest educational level achieved and the position in the occupation of those who have dropped out. These indicators can also be compared between groups, based on socioeconomic, demographic and area of residence clippings.
