Dr. Orville M. Disdier, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, was a keynote speaker at the First Puerto Rican Summit on School Health Promotion. During his presentation, he provided an update on the social and health profile of schoolchildren in Puerto Rico, highlighting the impact of social determinants on inequalities.
Dr. Disdier explained that Puerto Rico is facing a school enrollment crisis linked to demographic changes, as well as significant socioeconomic vulnerability, evidenced by more than 50% of minors living below the poverty level. However, he emphasized that despite high income inequality and various health challenges, education remains the primary driver of social mobility and an essential path to economic advancement.
