RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Mercedes De Los Ángeles; NUEZ GINES, Carmen De La  and  CESPON FEITO, Michael. Sociodemographic profile of Canarian university students. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.196, pp.81-102.  Epub Mar 02, 2021. ISSN 0185-2760.  https://doi.org/10.36857/resu.2020.196.1408.

The objective of this study is to determine the profiles of the new university population of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. An analysis of this group is carried out throughout a period of 12 academic years (2001-2013) according to the behavior of different sociodemographic variables, and according to branches of knowledge. Two groups are established and a comparison is made between them, taking 2008 as the cutting year (beginning of the Spanish economic crisis). The results show that there is differentiation between branches and according to periods, however these students are not an atypical case within the Spanish university context.

Keywords : Sociodemographic profile; University education; University students’ profiles; University of las Palmas de Gran Canaria; Spanish economic crisis.
