Share of the male population ages 15-18 that is in school and not employed, as measured by the LAC Equity Lab. This indicator provides a specific demographic lens on secondary education participation and its intersection with early labor market entry.
Use Cases
- Analyze the 'share in school' metric to assess gender gaps in upper secondary education completion rates.
- Correlate regional 'share in school' values with other socioeconomic indicators to model drivers of youth disengagement.
- Track changes in the 'male population ages 15-18' enrollment share over time to evaluate policy interventions aimed at keeping boys in school.
Strengths
- Focuses on a critical demographic (male youth aged 15-18) for education-to-work transition analysis.
- Provides a clear, standardized metric (share in school and not employed) for cross-country comparison.
Limitations
- Dataset scope is limited to a single gender and narrow age band, preventing a full population analysis.
- No sample size, row count, or temporal coverage is provided, limiting assessment of statistical power and trends.
