Abstract: | We use census microdata to assess the levels of educational homogamy in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico. This paper contributes to the literature on homogamy in three ways. First, by conducting a
comparative analysis between countries belonging to the still little-studied region of Latin America, which is still undergoing
intense and varied processes of demographic, economic, social, and political modernization. Second, by simultaneously including
variables of structural and individual nature. Finally, by making progress with respect to the interactions between educational
homogamy and other important variables associated with high levels of social inequality in the region: race, ethnicity and
birthplace. |
