Abstract

This paper analyzes how economic growth in Latin America is affected by the linkages between population in school (net enrollment rate) and population with different educational skills enrolled in the job market; and in particular, this study focuses in whether skilled workers are engaged in production processes through practices of imitation or innovation of technologies and, how this affects economic growth performance. To analyze the challenges that education in Latin American faces to promote economic growth, we take the approach of United Nations’s Millennium Development Goals (United Nations 2006) using coverage indicators designed by CEDLAS and World Bank (2012)and also considering the methodology of Barro and Lee (2010) to adjust workforce schooling at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
