Este artículo provee evidencia para Argentina acerca del impacto de extender la escolaridad obligatoria sobre la fecundidad adolescente. En el año 1993, el gobierno implementó una reforma educativa (Ley Federal de Educación) que, entre otras cosas, extendió los años de educación obligatorios de 7 a 10. La adopción de la Ley no se realizó de manera simultánea por parte de las provincias, brindando una fuente para identificar su efecto causal sobre la fecundidad adolescente. Los resultados sugieren una reducción en la tasa de fecundidad adolescente, especialmente en las jóvenes de entre 15 y 19 años de edad.
This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of increasing compulsory schooling on teenage fertility in Argentina. In 1993 the government implemented an education reform (Ley Federal de Educación) that among several features increased the years of compulsory schooling from 7 to 10 years. The timing in the implementation substantially varied across provinces, providing a source of identification for unraveling the causal effect on teenage fertility. Results suggest a reduction in teenage fertility rate, stronger for the group of teenagers aged 15 to 19.
