    Análisis exploratorio espacial del índice de feminización de las ocupaciones militares en las demandas de empleo

    Military occupations, which have traditionally been carried out by the male collective, are increasingly in demand by women. However, it seems that there are still large gender differences between these occupations and the others that make up the labor market. As territorial differences are relevant, it is necessary that socioeconomic studies be carried out considering the territory itself. The objective of this essay is to propose a location model that allows disaggregated information based on the segmentation of the geographic space to detect differences at the provincial level in the employment demands of military occupations. Specifically, it seeks on the one hand, to determine the territorial differences by sex of the employment demands related to military occupations; and on the other, to detect if the province is conditioning the values of the feminization index among its neighbouring provinces. The research technique used is the exploratory analysis of spatial data, defined as the set of descriptive and graphical tools that analyse spatial distributions, identify outliers, and detect forms of spatial autocorrelation. Data on job demands for military occupations have been collected from the State Public Employment Service. Among the main results, it should be noted that the values of the feminization indicators are unevenly distributed throughout the national territory and that the Moran Index does not confirm the presence of spatial autocorrelation between neighbouring territories.

    El ‘Efecto Princesa’ en las Fuerzas Armadas: un análisis de la visibilidad mediática con Google Trends

    Princess Leonor has garnered significant media interest since her birth. Her popularity has been driven by both traditional and digital media, especially upon reaching adulthood, that coincides with the beginning of her military training. News about the princess is abundant and diverse, covering almost all her official and unofficial engagements. In particular, her current military training is especially appealing from a media perspective, not only due to its institutional significance as the future Queen of Spain and supreme commander of the Armed Forces but also because of the novel image of a military princess. This study examines whether the media relevance of Princess Leonor’s incorporation into the army influences the visibility of an institution as traditional as the Spanish Armed Forces. The methodology is based on data analysis using the Google Trends tool from January 2023 to July 2024. The results show a positive correlation between search trends for the term ‘Princess Leonor’ and those related to the Armed Forces. In other words, when interest in the princess rises, searches for military-related terms also increase. This correlation is particularly significant during her military training period. Thus, the initial hypothesis is confirmed through the so-called ‘Princess Effect’, which we define as the visibility gained by the Armed Forces due to the media impact generated by Princess Leonor’s military training on her path to becoming Captain General of the Armed Forces.
