Abstract

In the last decades, many papers have outlined the importance of adopting a dynamic perspective to analyze social processes. That is the reason why, for these studies, the collected data increasingly report durations of episodes and changes in time. This kind of information, the so-called 'event history data', is usually analyzed by means of statistical methods such as survival analysis or regression models for transition data. However, in this paper a different approach is outlined applying correspondence analysis, an exploratory multivariate method, to a super indicator matrix that records event history data as sequences of events. In order to illustrate its use, in this paper we apply this methodology to analyze data from an education-to-job transition survey (Encuesta de Transición Educativo-Formativa e Inserción Laboral) conducted by the Spanish Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica) in 2005. This survey is intended to study the different ways of transition from education to labour market for 45.000 young people during the period 2001-2005.
