Resumo(s)
The paper estimates and analyses public primary school segregation in Lisbon between
2006 and 2016, along three dimensions: subsidized lunch, immigrant status, and parents ed-
ucation. Also, using 2011 census data, measures of residential segregation by education, un-
employed status, and immigrant inhabitant status were obtained for the capital. Throughout
this paper, I use the index of dissimilarity, the most popular unevenness index in the literature
to compute measures of school segregation that I compare with residential segregation. The
area analysed is the entire council of Lisbon, composed of 24 parishes containing a total of 24
public primary schools. The main findings include that segregation across schools has been
decreasing over time for the dimensions of subsidized lunch and parents education and that it
has increased for immigrant status. Furthermore, for the year of 2011, school segregation is
higher than residential segregation.
