Abstract

Early school leaving (ESL) is considered one of the most serious problems in the functioning of European education systems. In particular, Spain has traditionally exhibited one of the largest ESL rates in Europe. This study aimed to shed light on the role of the month of birth as a factor conditioning the probability of ESL. Using high‐quality census data and a regression discontinuity design, we documented that Spanish males from lower social strata born before the school‐entry cut‐off are substantially more likely to be observed as early school leavers than their counterparts born after that date. We do not find such effect among females or males from other social strata. Overall, educational policy should target more seriously the inequalities associated with the month of birth as they do not vanish before affecting relevant decisions such as leaving education early, at least for males from lower social strata.

年龄较小的学生更容易辍学吗?西班牙关于性别和社会出身的调节作用的证据
离校早(ESL)被认为是欧洲教育系统运作中最严重的问题之一。特别是,西班牙历来是欧洲辍学率最高的国家之一。本研究旨在揭示出生月份作为影响 ESL 概率因素的作用。通过使用高质量的人口普查数据和回归不连续设计,我们发现在入学截止日期之前出生的西班牙低社会阶层的男性比在该日期之后出生的男性更有可能被观察到提前离校。在其他社会阶层的女性或男性中,我们没有发现这种效应。总体而言,教育政策应更认真地关注与出生月份相关的不平等现象,因为这些不平等现象不会在影响相关决定(如提前离校)之前消失,至少对来自较低社会阶层的男性而言是如此。
