Les jeunes issus de l'immigration. De l'enseignement supérieur au marché du travail
2004
04038http://www.cereq.fr/pdf/b205.pdf; Souvent d'origine sociale défavorisée, les jeunes issus de l'immigration sont proportionnellement moins nombreux que les autres à poursuivre leurs études après le baccalauréat. Même lorsque tel est le cas, leur passage par l'enseignement supérieur ne parvient pas toujours à gommer le poids de leur origine, en particulier lorsqu'ils sont issus de l'immigration nord-africaine. Plus souvent confrontés au chômage, à la précarité de l'emploi, les jeunes d'origine maghrébine, et notamment les jeunes femmes, ont en effet plus de difficultés à entrer dans la vie active. Pour accéder à leur premier emploi, ils ont fréquemment recours à l'intérim, au travail sai…

However, questions arise as to the causes of such mobility and its consequences for young graduates' individual career paths.
Exploring Postgraduate Socioeconomics Programs in Spanish-Speaking Countries
2019
Resumen En los últimos años las actividades sin fines de lucro han sido promovidas como un mecanismo alternativo para el desarrollo en el contexto de la situación económica mundial.

Por esta razón, se plantea desarrollar un análisis de la oferta de programas de posgrado en Economía Social en las instituciones de educación superior latinoamericanas y españolas. El artículo presenta el proceso y los resultados d…
Personal Employability and employment outcomes in a university sample: a study before and after COVID-19
2021
[EN] Labour market uncertainty makes difficult to get (and keep) a high-quality job even for graduate students. Moreover, this situation has been worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to test the influence that personal employability has on maintaining (or being able to find a new) high-quality job in a sample of young university graduates that faced the job market crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on the four personal employability dimensions of Fugate et al.’s (2004) model: career identity, personal adaptability, human capital, and social capital. Our hypotheses state that the four dimensions of employability are positively related with employment …

The effect of polytechnic reform on migration
2011
This paper examines the effect of the polytechnic reform on geographical mobility. A polytechnic, higher education reform took place in Finland in the 1990s. It gradually transformed former vocational colleges into polytechnics and also brought higher education to regions that did not have a university before. This expansion of higher education provides exogenous variation in the regional supply of higher education. The reform raised the mobility of high school graduates across local labour markets in the years after they had completed their secondary studies, which indicated increased mobility between high school and post-secondary education. We estimate that the reform enhanced the annual…
