Social Factors Identifiers- *Mexico Numerous factors of the education process were analyzed statisticallyin relation to variables relating to social and economic change factors during the period 1930-1960 in Mexico. Major findings included the following: (1) from 1940 to1960 general economic and social conditions became more favorable, but post-primary schooling of adults did not improve (2) little indication was shown fordifferential growth indices between the several Mexican states; (3) the stability of relationships depended to a large extent on lack of an identification with the Federal state. and(4) the areas lagging behind national rdices showed a larger change component over the twenty-year span. All educational variables were related to the amount of change on the social and economic ndices by using multiple correlation statistical analysis UM) R6-T616,6 PP Cgt9s-408. Cs&13g.
