The Educational and Social Profile of the Indigenous People of Ecuador: A Multidimensional Analysis

The Educational and Social Profile of the Indigenous People of Ecuador: A Multidimensional Analysis

Abstract

The objective of the study is to examine the educational level and the social profile of the indigenous people of Ecuador by means of a descriptive and multidimensional statistical analysis of this sector of the Ecuadorian population, based on data from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment from 2015. The descriptive analysis shows the frequency and percentages of the variables used in the investigation, while the multidimensional statistical analysis is used in order to show the principal and most important criteria of differentiation and classification among the groups of people investigated. These methods involve a factorial analysis of multiple correspondences which demostrates the criteria of differentiation and a hierarchical cluster analysis to define groups of people according to their common traits.

El libro de José Manuel Castellano Gil, HISTORIA GRÁFICA DE LAS CASAS FLOTANTES DEL ECUADOR, y que de forma generosa me ha pedido presentar, me sugiere dos líneas de reflexión que planteare como dos preguntas, la primera es: ¿qué significa un libro histórico de imágenes? y la segunda es: ¿qué significa el hecho de que haya habido y todavía perviva una cultura anfibia, de las casas flotantes?, nominación que aparece en el texto.
