The main objective of this study is to estimate the years of schooling in the Nicaraguan population between 2009 and 2014, under a comparative approach. The scope of the research is associative, where open data from two Living Standards Measurement Surveys (EMNV) 2009 and 2014 have been used. Sampling was conducted in two stages, in the case of both surveys, inferences were made using a sample of 7,520 housing units, applying two forms, price and household. The variables on which the indicator was constructed were: level of study (S4P12A) and grade or year passed (S4P12B). The results showed that the Nicaraguan population is mostly young and concentrated in the macro region of Managua, with a high percentage of women. Likewise, a higher concentration of people between 6, 11 and 16 years of schooling (primary, secondary and university, respectively) was found. For 2014, compared to the EMNV-2009, a higher average years of schooling was observed in the Managua macro region. It was determined that there is a dependence of the years of schooling and the incidence of poverty, which is evidence that poverty is reduced when a person completes secondary education.
