For instance, electricity and schooling are loaded no longer on F1: electricity is loaded on F4 and schooling on F2. 76%of the total variance is explained by the four rotated common factors.
In contrast, the total variance explained by the four rotated principal components was much higher in the previous analysis (87%.

SCHOOL the mean years of schooling of the adult population in 1995. Available direct measures of years of schooling have been shown to be deficient in various respects.
There are also many missing country values. We thus construct a proxy measure for mean years of schooling that is comparable across countries, on the basis of primary, secondary and tertiary enrolment ratios (primary in 1985 and secondary and tertiary in 1990.
To construct this estimate, direct measures of the mean years of schooling for countries for which they are available are regressed on enrolment ratios.
The resulting equation is used to derive our estimate of mean years of schooling of the adult population for all countries in the sample.
