Resumen
Descripción
This study uses individual-level
census data from Argentina to examine the socioeconomic
disparities between Native and non-Native people. Native
people fare worse across a variety of indicators, including
housing, education, employment, and health. On average, the
observed disparities amount to 12 percent of the standard
deviation and persist even after controlling for factors
such as geographic location. Furthermore, there are
differences in the intergenerational transmission of
education between Natives and non-Natives: for each level of
education of the parents, the children of Natives have, on
average, fewer years of education than the children of
non-Natives. Finally, the study also reveals large
differences between Native groups: while some achieve
average outcomes that surpass those of the non-Native
population, others significantly lag behind. Notably, these
differences are correlated with a characteristic of their
pre-Columbian economy: the practice of agriculture.
