The Mexican Dual Training Model as an educational model for the insertion of young people into the labor market in Mexico

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify the influence of the Mexican Dual Training Model (in Spanish, Modelo Mexicano de Formación Dual or mmfd) as an educational model that contributes to the insertion into the labor market insertion of young graduates from higher education in Mexico. To do so, the authors carried out a factorial correspondence analysis for the period 2013-2016, at a national level and by federal entity. Among the results, they point out a positive relationship between the mmfd and labor market insertion, where a greater increase in the mmfd coincides with a decrease in the unemployment rate and an increase in the number of employed people.
