BARRAGAN, Sandra Patricia  e  GONZALEZ, Leandro. Reasons Why LGBTI People in Bogotá Drop Out of School. sophia [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, pp.27-43.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 1794-8932.  https://doi.org/10.18634/sophiaj.17v.1i.994.

The objective of this paper is to establish the academic traits and the reasons why “people from LGBTI sectors” in Bogotá have abandoned their studies based on the Multipurpose Survey of the District Planning Secretariat of Bogotá and the National Department of Statistics. The complete sample of the survey is 61,725 people representing a universe of 7,794,463 citizens in urban areas. The questions on gender and sexual orientation were applied to people over 18 years of age, so the sample for this work is 172,900 people with an expansion of 6,127,120. With this sample we analyze only the questions that provide information on the traits and academic risk profiles of “people from the LGBTI sectors” using decision trees as the main technique. It is found that for this population group: the literacy rate is 98.8%; the most influential variables, in descending order, when deciding whether or not to study are: age, type of housing tenure, marital status and sex, while the reasons for not studying are considered to be those who have already finished studying, educational costs and the need to work. In addition, men and women from LGBTI sectors, with similar intensity, remain in the educational system, while among heterosexuals it is women who remain in higher percentages.
