Abstract

In this paper the "Effective Literacy" measure proposed by Basu and Foster (1998) is calculated for the secondary school level of education in Argentina. The estimation is done with data from Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) from May 2003. The gender gap is also calculated for the primary, secondary, tertiary (non-university) and university level of education with data from EPH and Censo Poblacional 2001 for each province. It is found, in the first place, that Argentina has high levels of completion of secondary school. These rates are obviously increased when the intrahousehold externality is considered as Basu and Foster's measure does and the ranking among the cities changes substantially. In the second place, it is found that 15 out of the 23 provinces show a gender gap favorable to women for the primary level, and all provinces show this same result for the secondary level. However, the gender gap is favorable to men for the university level
