The International Agreement for Economic, Social and Educational Rights set up by the General Assembly of the United Nations outlines the right to education and fair working conditions for all. Yet, effective compliance of such an act shows different levels in Latin America Socio-economic status and education afflicting both native and foreigners alike. As a result, a vulnerable scenario rules labor insertion and social mobility. This work attempts to assess as to what extent employment is linked to schooling for either natives or foreigners in an immigration recepting country such as Argentina versus a population rejecting one such as Paraguay. Estimates are made by a binary logistic regression pattern using as data source the Permanent Housekeeping Survey for both countries during 2006.
