CASTILLO RODRIGUEZ, Jesús  and  IVANOVA BONCHEVA, Antonina. Impact of COVID19 on education and employment on the aerospace industry in Mexico. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro.

The aerospace industry ranges from the design of space missions, satellite systems, ejection systems and space launch, as well as their maintenance; and for the operation of this industry, highly qualified labor is required, that is, aerospace engineers, who are specialists with extensive knowledge in physics, mathematics and engineering sciences to develop in the aeronautical and space field. The objective of this research is to analyze the educational structure and measure reference employment in the aerospace industry, as well as to measure the impact that the COVID19 pandemic had on the labor factor in this industry. The methodology used involved generating an econometric regression to analyze the increase in employed personnel and a dummy variable that captures the effect of the pandemic, where the preliminary results show a constant employment growth rate and then have a considerable setback from the beginning of the COVID-19.

Keywords : Aerospace industry; COVID19; employment; education; engineering.
