No country for young kids? The effects of school starting age throughout childhood and beyond
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
Being the youngest in a cohort entails many penalties. Using administrative
data of every public-school student in Portugal, we show that although performance
gains from being 1-year older fade quickly from primary education to high school,
age-related penalties persist through a combination of grade retention, educational
tracking and testing policies. Those that start school younger are more likely to
repeat grades and ultimately drop out from school. Older entrants are more likely
to enroll in scientific curricula in high school, are more successful at accessing public
higher education and enroll in more selective undergraduate courses.
