En México este crecimiento es más lento pero, debido a su demografía, la oferta de jóvenes con un alto nivel de instrucción ha crecido con mayor rapidez que la de los europeos; además, en las últimas décadas las protagonistas de dicho proceso han sido las mujeres. Este fenómeno implica un cambio de modelo en la producción de las competencias, lo que constituye, simultáneamente, un reto y una oportunidad para la economía mexicana.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Presented are the initial results of the research project, &#8220;Educational Expansion and the Labor Market in Mexico, a Comparison with the European Union&#8221;. An analysis is made of the growth of education in Mexico by determining the educational level of its economically active generations, in comparison with the European Union. In Mexico, such growth is slower, but due to the nation&#8217;s demographics, the supply of young people with a high level of education has increased faster than in Europe. In addition, during recent decades, the protagonists in this process have been women. Such a phenomenon implies a changed model in the production of skills: a simultaneous challenge and opportunity for the Mexican economy.]]></p></abstract>
