Graduate employment and the returns to higher education in Africa

2013

http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Barounia%20Mahdi_Broeckeb%20%20Stijn.docx; In this paper, we estimate the return to higher education for 12 African countries using recent data and a variety of methods. Importantly, one of our methods adjusts for the effect of higher education on the rate of joblessness, which is substantial in most African countries, and particularly for women. Our results confirm that Mincerian coefficients cannot be interpreted as a true rate of return, and that the latter (even after taking into account the employment effect) is considerably lower than what has previously been suggested in the literature (less than half). For Sub-Saharan A…

Higher Education Institutions Quality and Graduate Wages in Tunisia

2017

International audience; We estimate the effect of university characteristics on the return to higher education in Tunisia. We use a variety of administrative data from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment and the National Social Security Fund. We consider econometric approaches based on multilevel modeling, which distinguishes more precisely between the effects of individual factors and institutional factors on earnings. Our findings confirm the relationship between the income and some university characteristics such as the number of permanent teachers, the selectivity of the higher learning institutions at the academic orientatio…

Formation à l'entreprenariat et le travail indépendant chez les diplômés universitaires

2014

Ce papier évalue de façon rigoureuse la mise en place d'une voie entrepreneuriale dans le cadre d'une réforme de l'enseignement supérieur. Ce programme visait à fournir une formation pratique à la création d'entreprise et un accompagne ment personnalisé (coaching) aux étudiants qui pouvaient ensuite obtenir leur diplôme en préparant un plan d'affaires au lieu de rédiger un mémoire universitaire classique. Mis en ouvre au cours de l'année universitaire 2009-2010, le projet pilote ciblait les étudiants en dernière année de licence appliquée, c'est-à-dire juste avant leur passage du monde des études à celui du travail ou, souvent, au monde du chômage, compte tenu des longues durées d'accès au …
