Dealing with international statistics in the social sciences
Keywords:
concept, variable, method, statisticAbstract
This article tries to convey some inconveniences that result after an extensive work which compares the ways in which the variables of different countries are measured, due to the fact that there are visible differences amongst them. Thus, the aim is pointed at the ability to make more precise comparisons. To do so, this work is divided into four parts: la definition of concepts of the social sciences, the description of the variables, the treatment of these and of quantitative data, and finally the scan on the main differences found in international statistics.
