Resum

El sistema educatiu argentí es compon d'un sector públic i un de privat. L'elecció del centre escolar privat depèn dels ingressos familiars, ja que tots els centres privats cobren taxes, que poden variar molt. A partir de dades d'una enquesta a les llars i centrant-nos en l'educació secundària de Buenos Aires, primer construïm un model logit niat i intentem identificar els factors determinants de la tria del centre escolar públic o privat als barris de la ciutat. En segon lloc, analitzem la segregació socioeconòmica entre centres públics, privats religiosos i privats no religiosos. Els resultats mostren que l'educació del cap de família i els ingressos són bons predictors en la decisió d'escollir un centre educatiu. Tot i així, observem que la privatització abasta estrats socials molt diferents i per tant Buenos Aires no és estrictament el cas on les escoles privades atenen exclusivament infants amb un bon nivell econòmic. Finalment, els índexs de segregació mostren una composició socioeconòmica força homogènia dins cada tipus d'escola i tres realitats ben diferenciades entre sectors.

Private school choice is subject to household income since all private schools charge fees, which may, however, vary widely. Drawing on household survey data and focusing on the secondary school level in Buenos Aires, we first build a nested logit model and attempt to identify determinants of public-private school choice across the city{\textquoteright}s neighborhoods. Second, we analyze socioeconomic segregation across public, private religious and private non-religious schools. Results show that the education of the head of household and income are good predictors in the school choice decision. Still, we note that privatization encompasses very different social strata and thus Buenos Aires is not strictly the case where private schools serve exclusively children from well-off backgrounds. Finally, segregation indices show a quite homogeneous socioeconomic composition within each type of school and three quite different realities among each sector.",
