description The objective of this work is to establish a relationship between the increase in registration for higher level education and GDP per capita in a group of selected countries in the world and place Health Sciences as a proportion of such registration. Data from Unesco and World Bank are used. This is a descriptive correlational study with transversal retrospective design.We conclude that primary and secondary education in Argentina present high repetition rates. Out of 10 students who enter secondary school, more than six do not complete it. The increase in registration does not seem to guarantee universality. If we consider what has happened since the year 2003, the percentage of graduates has not changed even though registration increased 6 points in percentage terms regarding people in situation to enter higher education.Processes of university overcrowding show differences in cultural capital, generating great heterogeneity among the students reaching the classrooms. Different factors such as the student´s family setting, social and cultural capital accumulated in the family, personal characteristics, previous schooling and previous school success would determine the academic success. There may be students who have not had the possibilities to acquire and incorporate the knowledge, abilities and capital necessary to stay in university and this brings about the reproduction of exclusion and social inequality.Countries with GDP per capita similar to that in Argentina, present better university graduation rates. This fact shows that in Argentina there is much more to improve independently from its GDP per capita.In the field of study “Health and Wellbeing” (including Medicine, Medical Services, Nursing and Dentistry) Argentina, with a medium level of income, has a proportion of 16% of graduates, placing the country in a position similar to Switzerland, United States and Italy among other countries with more relative development.Regarding degree courses selected by students, Argentina shows 18% graduates in Education and 36% graduates in Social Sciences, Business and Law, similar to some countries with higher levels of GDP per capita.University graduates in Sciences, in the group of selected countries, present graduation rates which are independent from their levels of income per capita. Argentina only reaches 7% of graduates in sciences, even though the level of industrial development and innovation needs would require a larger effort in the area.

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo general establecer la relación entre el incremento de la matrícula de la educación a nivel superior y el PBI per cápita, en un grupo de países seleccionados en el mundo, y situar las Ciencias de la Salud como proporción de dicha matrícula. Utiliza datos de Unesco y Banco Mundial. El alcance es descriptivo y correlacional y el diseño retrospectivo transversal.Se concluye que el ciclo de educación primaria y secundaria en Argentina presenta altas tasas de repitencia. De cada diez alumnos que ingresan al secundario, más de seis no termina este ciclo. El incremento de la matrícula no parece garantizar la universalización de la misma. Si se considera lo ocurrido desde el año 2003 el porcentual de egresos no varió pese a que la matrícula aumentó en 6 puntos porcentuales de las personas en condición de incorporarse a la educación superior.Los procesos de masificación universitaria manifiestan diferencias en el capital cultural, generando gran heterogeneidad en los estudiantes que llegan a las aulas. El entorno familiar del estudiante, el capital social y cultural acumulado en su familia, sus características personales, su escolarización previa, y el grado de éxito escolar alcanzado anteriormente, serían determinantes del éxito académico. Existirían alumnos que no han tenido las posibilidades de adquirir e incorporar los conocimientos, las habilidades, capitales y saberes necesarios para permanecer en la universidad, lo cual conllevaría a reproducir la exclusión y la desigualdad social.Países con similar PBI per cápita al de Argentina, presentan mejores tasas de graduación universitaria. Ello muestra que Argentina tiene mucho por mejorar independientemente de su PBI por cápita.En el campo de estudio Salud y Bienestar (que incluye Medicina, Servicios Médicos, Enfermería y Odontología) Argentina con un nivel de ingresos medios, tiene una proporción del 16% de graduados, lo que la ubica en una posición similar a la de Suiza, Estados Unidos e Italia entre otros países de mayor desarrollo relativo.En relación a las carreras elegidas por los universitarios, Argentina muestra un 18% de graduados en Educación y un 36% de graduados en Ciencias Sociales, Negocios y Leyes, similar a algunos países que se encuentran con niveles superiores de PBI por cápita.Los graduados universitarios en Ciencias, en el grupo de países seleccionados presentan tasas de graduación, independientes de sus niveles de ingreso por cápita. Argentina sólo alcanza un 7% de graduados en ciencias, pese a que su nivel de desarrollo industrial y necesidad de innovación requeriría un mayor esfuerzo en dicha área.
