Abstract

To what extent remaining schooled after compulsory education depends on gender, generation and place, or is mediated by migratory and family of origin status? Through the Labour Force Survey in its quarterly rotating panel version of households, the proportions of remaining schooled for those aged 17-25 years, components of the cohorts born between 1970 and 1994, are reconstructed. The sample is made up of observations starring by individuals, framed in households and resident in 52 territorial units. Multilevel logistic regression with random effects is used as statistical technique. It is concluded that these probabilities are significantly higher among women, within an economic crisis, among population born in Spain with both parents also natives, as higher the educational attainment of the parental nucleus and for youth living in territories with a qualified labour market composition and low percentage of international immigration.
