Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Uruguay�s educational situation stands out when compared to the rest of Latin America. Though it is between the top countries in terms of elementary school completeness and enrollment in secondary education, it is one of the worst performers in terms of teenager drop out. Thirty five percent of the students drop out from school before completing 12 years of education and most of these students come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Several studies have identified the structural factors associated with teenage dropouts but a few have analyzed the psychosocial factors though its great (statistical) significance. In addition, the available studies are focused on causal relationships instead of the configurations of causes that may inhibit or enhance teenage chances of dropping out. In this paper, I address these gaps in the literature identifying a typology of career paths among teenagers from the lowest socioeconomic level. One of my main findings is that the likelihood of a student taking one path or another does not depend on the simple additive effect of variables as previous studies suggest. It depends instead, on peculiar configurations of factors and the relative weight of the intervenient conditions and their reversibility.
