Análisis de la escolarización desde un punto de vista demográfico

Abstract

In this article we propose, taking as reference points the theoretical and instrumental
experience of demography, to equip the demography of education with valid instruments for
analysis, so as to create its own body of knowledge which hitherto has scarcely been developed.
With this objective in mind, an attempt is made to delve into the analysis of some aspects of
schooling using a series of measurement techniques that reveal rather remarkable features of school
population. Specifically, a base instrument is developed and we have called this the Table of
Scholastic Indicators, which is presented as a powerful measurement instrument, capable of
furnishing the information necessary for responding to the basic objective of this article.
