It brings recent research in real wages and adult heights as indicators of income and health. Heights and wages both align with Schiaffino’s ranking of regions and reinforce the notion that the gaps in human development were enormous in Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The essay concludes with some suggestions for future research emphasizing the study of the institutional arrangements of public education policies and considering the role of credit scarcity in human capital formation. Este ensayo considera los factores ingreso y salud en la evaluación de la hipótesis de Schiaffino que argumenta que las desigualdades regionales y sociales de la Argentina redujeron el impacto del desarrollo económico agroexportador y las políticas educativas de fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Tanto los salarios reales como las estaturas apuntan a pronunciadas desigualdades dentro del país, comparables a las brechas observadas entre el sur y el norte de Europa. Finalmente, el ensayo concluye con sugerencias para una agenda de investigación que estudie las diferencias en los mecanismos institucionales de educación pública, y que considere el rol de las restricciones de crédito en la formación de capital humano.

description This essay puts Pablo Schiaffino’s contribution in the broader framework of the history of human development in Argentina. It brings recent research in real wages and adult heights as indicators of income and health. Heights and wages both align with Schiaffino’s ranking of regions and reinforce the notion that the gaps in human development were enormous in Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The essay concludes with some suggestions for future research emphasizing the study of the institutional arrangements of public education policies and considering the role of credit scarcity in human capital formation.
