Abstract
RAMBLA, Xavier; SALDANHA-PEREIRA, Rosangela and ESPLUGA, Josep Lluís. Education and human development dimensions in Latin America. Pap. poblac [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.75, pp.213-237. ISSN 2448-7147.
The paper analyses some dimensions of human development in Latin America. First, the normative accounts of social justice recommend that evaluations of public policies rely on data about school enrolment and academic performance and frame their conclusions in relevant analyses of material deprivation. Second, salient interactions have been noticed between lack of education, income poverty, frail health, inadequate housing conditions and insecurity. Finally, opportunity hoarding appears to be a causal mechanism of durable inequalities that hinders educational development in the region.
Keywords : Human development; educational policy; poverty; social justice.
