La última década muestra una mejora considerable de las tasas de asistencia escolar entre jóvenes de 15 a 17 años en Argentina. Esto podría estar relacionado con la Ley de Educación Nacional de 2006 que transformó en obligatoria la educación secundaria superior.

Utilizando una estrategia de diferencias en diferencias estimamos que el programa generó un aumento de 3,9 puntos porcentuales en la probabilidad de asistir a la escuela secundaria de los jóvenes elegibles entre 15 y 17 años de edad.
