| description |
Wealth and gender inequity in the
accumulation of cognitive skills is measured as the
association between subject competency and wealth and gender
using the OECD s Programme for International Student
Assessment. Wealth inequity is found to occur not through
disparate household characteristics but rather through
disparate school characteristics; little evidence is found
of an association between wealth and competency within
schools. Weak evidence is found of wealth mitigating gender
differences through school characteristics. These findings
suggest that wealth inequity in the accumulation of
cognitive skills is almost exclusively associated with
disparate school characteristics and that disparate school
characteristics may play a role in accentuating gender inequity. |
