Schooling and living conditions in the city of Recife

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the relation between schooling and social conditions of existence in the city of Recife. To do so, the sociodemographic and educational data of the population were used, produced by the 2010 IBGE Census and by INE P. These data were treated with the help of a Standard Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Through this statistical method, it was possible to relate together educational indicators, sociodemographic characteristics of the population and urban equipment available in the places of residence. The results reveal the importance of the socioeconomic dimension, but also of the social characteristics of the place of residence and the variables of racial classification, in order to understand the educational disparities among the population in the city of Recife.
