在中美洲和整个拉丁美洲，辍学问题日益令人关切，因为它影响到经济生产力、增长的包容性、社会凝聚力和青年风险的增加。本文件利用二十多年的住户调查数据，系统地概述了中美洲中小学辍学情况，重点是辍学模式的最新趋势及其根本原因。在每个国家，贫困、农村和土著群体成员是辍学的最强相关因素，反映了影响留在学校的边际收益和成本的几个基本因素。全球和区域证据越来越多地指向减少中美洲辍学的共同政策优先事项，包括解决学前和中学教育方面仍然存在的差距，提高各级教育质量，以及加强旨在改善教育成果的现有方案的覆盖面、针对性和一致性。然而，需要进行更多的严格评价，包括成本数据，以确定每个国家最有效的具体办法。JEL分类：I2、I24、I25、I26、I28、O15。
School dropout is a growing concern in Central America, and in Latin America as a whole, because of its consequences for economic productivity, the inclusiveness of growth, social cohesion, and increasing youth risks. This paper utilizes more than two decades of household survey data to construct a systematic overview of school dropout at the primary and secondary levels in Central America, focusing on recent trends in dropout patterns and their underlying causes. Within each country, poverty, rurality, and indigenous group membership are the strongest correlates of dropout, reflecting several underlying factors that affect the marginal benefits and costs of staying in school. Global and regional evidence increasingly points to common policy priorities for reducing dropout across Central America, including addressing remaining gaps in access at the pre-primary and secondary levels, improving the quality of education at all levels, and strengthening the coverage, targeting, and coherence of existing programs aimed at improving education outcomes. However, additional rigorous evaluations, including cost data, are needed to identify the most effective specific approaches in each country. JEL Classification: I2, I24, I25, I26, I28, O15.
