Hence, dropping out of school early restricts choices in the labour market, while the requirements for most jobs limit the possibilities for attending an educational establishment on a regular basis. And taking on domestic responsibilities at an early age is usually incompatible with staying in school. Some examples are direct subsidies for attending educational institutions, flexible work hours for young people, day care centres, expanded school schedules, creation of opportunities for training outside the formal educational system and, indirectly, conditional cash transfers. It is harder to act on other factors with a major impact on school desertion, such as signals from the market concerning the value that society attaches to educational attainments and the inertia of traditional symbolic representations that define a place in society for women from lower socio-economic strata by assigning them roles as housekeepers and mothers. Add to this the negative impact of this mix of precariousness and responsibility and one of the results is the low level of life satisfaction among the 15-to-29-year-olds in Latin America who have children.
