Abstract

Secondary vocational educational represents around 45% of students who graduate from secondary schools in Chile. This study provides empirical evidence about the educational trajectories and labor market insertion of the complete cohort of students that attended 10th grade in the year 2003. We use administrative data which allows for following individual students through secondary education, higher education and into the labor market. The paper addresses the choice between vocational and general secondary education, learning outcomes in the 10th grade Simce Standardized Test and the University Entry Test, the dropout rate in secondary education, entry to higher education, the dropout versus graduation rates in higher education institutions, labor market participation and labor earnings
