Social Panorama of Latin America 2014

The 2014 edition of Social Panorama of Latin America presents ECLAC measurements for the analysis of income poverty, taking, as well, a multidimensional approach to poverty. Applying these two approaches to data for the countries of the region provides confirmation that despite the progress made over the past decade, structural poverty is still a feature of Latin American society. In order to contribute to a more comprehensive design of public policies aimed at overcoming poverty and socioeconomic inequality, this edition examines recent trends in social spending and sets out a deeper gap analysis focused on three areas: youth and development, gender inequality in the labour market and urban residential segregation.

Panorama Social da América Latina 2014. Síntese

Nesta edição de 2014 do Panorama Social da América Latina se apresentam as medições realizadas pela CEPAL da pobreza por renda e se analisa a pobreza a partir de uma ótica multidimensional. A aplicação destes dois enfoques aos dados sobre os países da região permite reforçar a ideia de que, para além dos avanços alcançados na última década, a pobreza persiste como um fenômeno estrutural que caracteriza a sociedade latino-americana. Com o objeto de contribuir a uma formulação mais abrangente das políticas públicas para superar a pobreza e a desigualdade socioeconômica, ademais de examinar as tendências recentes do gasto social, o documento se aprofunda na análise de brechas em três âmbitos: juventude e desenvolvimento, desigualdade de gênero no mercado de trabalho e segregação residencial urbana.

Education system institutions and educational inequalities in Uruguay

This article shows how certain aspects at the secondary level of Uruguay’s public school system produce inequalities in student achievement. The 2006 edition of the Programme for International Student Assessment (pisa) (oecd, 2006a) points to three key aspects of the institutions that regulate secondary education that play a part in reproducing inequalities of origin, hindering the equalizing role that guides the education system. First, the teacher assignment mechanism has the dual effect of sending a revolving door of young and inexperienced teachers to schools in unfavourable sociocultural contexts as well as concentrating teachers with more experience in schools in favourable contexts. Second, the geography-based system for assigning students to schools reproduces the residential segregation process. Lastly, the centralized system for supplying educational and technological materials is inadequate to the needs of the schools.
