🚀 Our monograph The Geography of Early Dropout In Spain is out! 🌍 #OA 🔗 www.fundacionareces.es/fundacionare... Miguel Requena and I analyze early dropout at the provincial (NUTS3) level using 2011 and 2021 census data. I'll be sharing key findings in the coming days. Starting with some maps! 🗺️👇

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Happy to present our work @psalasr.bsky.social on the level, trends & mechanisms of unfair educational inequality in Spain in such a high-level workshop/session.
