Gender Inequalities in Academic Achievement among Internally Displaced children in Colombia/Desigualdades de genero en el desempeno academico de los ninos desplazados forzados en Colombia/Desigualdades de genero no desempenho academico de criancas deslocadas forcadas na Colombia.(ARTÍCULO DE INVESTIGACIÓN CUANTITATIVA texto en ingles)

Using 2015 data of the Colombia Demographic and Health Survey, we investigated the incidence of belonging to a household with an Internally Displaced Person (IDP) on the likelihood of grade retention by sex. Particularly, a bivariate logistic regression was used to identify the correlation between families with IDP and children's gender on the probability of repeating a school year. Boys' were negatively affected when they live in an IDP household. Also, boys had a higher likelihood of repeating a grade. We need to know how to act upon the social determinants that create social gaps and disadvantages across IDP, but also, to align with Sustainable Development Goals to eliminate gender inequalities.
