Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper aims to identify whether or not the spatial concentration of
poverty –also called economic residential segregation- affects the
opportunities of the poor in Chile. Residential segregation is
understood as the concentration particular population groups in
determined geographical areas within cities. To identify the effects of
segregation we use a panel of cross sections of the Casen household
surveys, although the measures of segregation are computed from the
Census data. The results suggest that segregation makes more likely
that children from poor households do not attend preschool
education, lag behind grades in school and drop out from schools.
Segregation also makes more likely that the non student young from
poor households do not participate in the labor force. On the other
hand, segregation does not seem to have an effect on the probabilities
of teenage pregnancy, young single mothers or the health status of the
working age population.
