La educación en Europa desde una perspectiva de género
In this paper we analyze education in European countries, both overall and from a gender perspective, and we use the information derived from this analysis to compare the educational situation of these countries with the one that we observe in several indicators which reflect other socioeconomic aspects thereof. For multidimensional analysis of the state of education taking into account gender, we use the Multiple Factor Analysis exploratory technique in order to analyze globally the relative positions of these countries as far as education is concerned. In addition, the educational situation of these countries, summarized by the first factors of the previous analysis, has been combined with the information provided to us by several socioeconomic indicators with the ultimate goal of detecting whether the behaviour of these countries as far as education is concerned is accompanied by some pattern in the rest of the analyzed indicators.
