| Abstract (English): |
This article examines the intergenerational social mobility of graduates from public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Mexico. To do this, we created two economic status indices—origin and destination—using multiple correspondence analysis. The study is both quantitative and correlational. Four ordinary least squares linear regression models were estimated to evaluate the influence of origin circumstances and HEI type on social mobility. Data from the National Household Survey were used. The results indicate that public HEI graduates exhibit greater upward mobility, while private HEI graduates experience greater intergenerational persistence. Household wealth at origin most accurately explains social mobility; however, being an indigenous speaker and the type of HEI graduated from were also statistically significant factors. Public policies aimed at reducing inequalities stemming from circumstances of origin could increase social mobility in Mexico and help lower poverty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Este artículo estima la movilidad social intergeneracional de egresadas(os) de instituciones de educación superior (IES) públicas y privadas en México. Para ellos se construyeron dos índices de posición económica: origen y destino con el método de correspondencias múltiples. El estudio es cuantitativo y correlacional. Se obtuvieron cuatro modelos de regresión lineal, mediante mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, para identificar el impacto de las circunstancias de origen y el tipo de ies en la movilidad social. Se utilizaron estadísticas de la Encuesta Nacional de los Hogares. Los hallazgos sugieren que las IES públicas muestran mejor movilidad ascendente y las y los egresados de las privadas tienen mayor permanencia intergeneracional. La riqueza del hogar de origen explica mejor la movilidad social, no obstante ser hablante indígena y el tipo de ies de egreso también resultaron estadísticamente significativos. Las políticas públicas dirigidas a eliminar las desigualdades provocadas por las circunstancias de origen aumentarán la movilidad social en México y apoyarán a disminuir la pobreza.
