Lastly, with regard to the situation of adolescents aged 13 to 17 years, UNICEF notes that: school attendance has improved over the past 15 years, from 82.9 per cent in 1991 to 88.4 per cent in 2004; there is a big gap in school attendance between adolescents who are not poor (93.5 per cent) and those who are (78.1 per cent), an indicator of inequality in effective access to secondary education; educational “disaffiliation” (students becoming disconnected from, gradually abandoning or actually dropping out of school) is a really serious problem in this age group; the adolescent employment rate has been dropping ever since the crisis; in 1998, 15 per cent of adolescents (14 to 17 year olds) were working, compared with 7.7 per cent in 2003; and institutional disaffiliation, understood as the proportion of adolescents who are neither studying nor working, has declined in recent years, from 15.8 per cent in 1998 to 11.2 per cent in 2004.
