Labor inequality and academic dropout

Abstract

The effects of labor inequality on university student desertion allow us to understand the dynamics and effectiveness of student inclusion and permanence policies in University Education centers. The general objective of the research was to determine the factors that influence labor inequality with respect to academic desertion. The methodology used field research through the qualitative approach. The following descriptive, inductive, and bibliographic methods were used. The interview was applied as a qualitative research instrument. This was applied to a sample of eight students by reading questions and registering answers. The results show that both the work activities carried out by the students, as well as the academic scholarships and financial aid provided by the University Education Institution allow financing the costs derived from a face-to-face university education and that due to the fact that class schedules are different in Each ordinary academic period, faced with rigid work schedules in different companies, priority is given to fulfilling work functions and then moving to the Institution of University Education to receive classes on time. It was concluded that the lack of job opportunities in relation to the precariousness of jobs can lead students to abandon their studies to look for work that supports the expenses derived from the family environment and academic activities, in addition, the promotion of financial aid as a contribution in education is an important tool to address the problem of student dropout in University Education.
