Abstract
El artículo explora la relevancia de los cambios en el coste de oportunidad de estudiar para explicar la escolarización de adolescentes y jóvenes en las últimas décadas. Por una parte, plantea varias hipótesis acerca de los factores subyacentes a la realidad y la percepción de dicho coste. Por otra, presenta, y comenta a la vista de varias de esas hipótesis, una evidencia de las pautas de escolarización de ambos grupos en Europa occidental desde los años noventa, situando el caso español en este marco. La evidencia apunta a la necesidad de tener en cuenta factores de índole institucional (escolares) además de los meramente económicos para entender la relación entre coste de oportunidad de estudiar y escolarización.
