Based on the human development approach, vulnerability is explained from the perspective of education, suggesting that a young person can be vulnerable to not educated either illiteracy or truancy, selecting the dimension is in the importance It has the same engine in a society like development. The study is conducted through a microeconometric analysis using models with limited dependent variable. The main findings show that although the proportion of illiteracy is low, can be explained by lack of money, education costs and that should work; furthermore, it is directly associated with low levels of parent education. For its part, the truancy suffer further women than men. Also, to the extent that the parent increased their level of education and also the home is composed of a mother, the young are more likely to study.
