L'investissement dans l'éducation en zone rurale profite-t-il essentiellement aux activités agricoles traditionnelles comme, par exemple, les cultures vivrières ? Cet ouvrage montre qu'il n'en est rien. En effet, les économies rurales sont beaucoup plus complexes que ne le laisse supposer une telle hypothèse : les effets bénéfiques de l'éducation se manifestent dans divers domaines, et non dans un seul, et varient considérablement selon le niveau d'instruction atteint. Les auteurs de ce livre ont enquêté auprès de ménages ruraux mexicains en tenant compte non seulement du niveau d'instruction du chef de famille, mais aussi de celui des autres membres de la famille. Leur objectif premier était de formuler une méthode d'analyse des interactions entre éducation, migration et productivité, de tester cette méthode à l'aide de données réelles et d'en tirer des conclusions utiles pour l'élaboration des politiques de l'éducation et du développement. Leurs travaux nous offrent ainsi un outil analytique d'un grand intérêt pratique pour les décideurs et pour les spécialistes qui souhaiteraient utiliser cette méthode dans d'autres contextes.

This book challenges the assumption that the major benefits of investment in rural education accrue to traditional agricultural activities, such as staples production. Indeed, rural economies are much more complex than such an assumption would allow and the benefits from education are, therefore, rather dispersed, and vary significantly according to the level of educational attainment achieved. The authors have carried out a survey of rural households in Mexico, taking into account educational levels, not only of the head of household, but also of the other members of the family. Their overriding purpose is to present an approach for analysing education-migration-productivity interactions, to test this approach using real-world data, and to draw relevant conclusions for educational and development policy. The result is an analytical tool of great practical interest for policy makers, as well as for specialists who might wish to extend the technique to other societies and situations.
