Education
For the poorest households (1st quintile), all
deviations from the mean in attendance of different
education levels are negative and are most apparent
for kindergarten attendance (-63 percent), postsecondary
non-university and university attendance (-
59 percent), preschool attendance (-36 percent) and
secondary school attendance (-27 percent). In the
wealthiest households by consumption expenditure
(5th quintile), all deviations from the mean are
positive and are most apparent for kindergarten
attendance (+69 percent), post-secondary nonuniversity
and university attendance (+44 percent),
preschool attendance (+21 percent) and secondary
school attendance (14 percent). The lowest
differences with respect to household poverty are in
relation to primary school attendance (from -6 to +2).
The data correspond to 2002 results at all levels,
apart from preschool and primary education, where
the differences have increased. Particularly worrying
is the decrease in primary school attendance of
children from the poorest families.
