Mathematical Modeling of the Relationship between the Components of Higher Education and the Rate of Economic Activity in Syria


Abstract in English

This study aims to find the best indicators representing higher education components using the method of multivariate statistical analysis represented in a manner factor analysis, and create a mathematical model that connects the principal components representing higher education and the rate of economic activity in Syria using multi- linear regression analysis. A descriptive analytical approach is used in this study. The most important results obtained state that the principal components that belong to higher studies and intermediate institutes have a positive impact on the rate of economic activity of manpower, whereas principal components that belong to students of state universities and higher institutes have a negative impact on the rate of economic activity.
