Resumen

La participación de menores, tanto en tareas domésticas como no domésticas, los efectos del género y los bajos logros académicos siguen siendo un reto para los países de América Latina. A través del modelaje lineal jerárquico de datos del Programa Internacional de Evaluación de los Alumnos (PISA), este estudio busca explorar las tendencias entre los países en la relación entre los logros académicos, el trabajo infantil y el género. Si bien el trabajo fuera del hogar suele tener un efecto sobre los logros académicos en todos los países de Latinoamérica, tal como demuestran la importancia y la magnitud de las estadísticas; la participación en las tareas del hogar es relevante únicamente en dos (Perú y Uruguay). Se ha visto que las niñas obtienen peores resultados que los niños en un margen importante en toda Latinoamérica. La última parte del estudio busca analizar los efectos de interacción de género y participación en actividades laborales. Los resultados demuestran que el género no es un factor moderador, lo que sugiere que la participación en el trabajo o en el lugar de trabajo en sí mismo (en el hogar o fuera de él) no influye ni contribuye a la desigualdad de géneros en los resultados académicos. Los factores que explican la desigualdad en los resultados académicos se encuentran posiblemente en una esfera de influencia distinta que debe descifrarse mediante una investigación empírica más profunda
