Abstract
NAVARRO CHAVEZ, José César Lenin and FAVILA TELLO, Antonio. Educational Inequality in Mexico, 1990-2010: The Case of the Country's States. REDIE [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.2, pp.21-33. ISSN 1607-4041.
This paper studies educational inequality in Mexico, examining educational differences between the country's states. To carry out this analysis, an adaptation of the statistical measure known as the Gini coefficient was used. The results show marked differences between Mexican states with regard to education. There are large inequality gaps between the states in Mexico that have persisted over time despite the fact that the data indicate that education has become more equal in all of the country's states.
Keywords : Educational inequality; Social stratification; Mexico.
